SEGA has released a sneak peek of two substories from the upcoming Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
Through certain circumstances, Kazuma Kiryu ends up offering his services to the jack-of-all-trades Akame.
Akame has a multitude of interesting and varied jobs that she’ll assign to Kiryu, allowing players to enjoy unique adventures outside of the main story.
While completing these requests, you’ll run into familiar faces or surprising encounters from previous instalments of the franchise.
Characters that were revealed to make a return are Etsuko and Tough Guy, each having a role in each of the substories.
Like a Dragon Gaiden follows Kazuma Kiryu once again, who became an agent for the Daidoji faction after he faking his death to protect his loved ones.
One day, a mysterious organisation attempts to drag him back to the maelstrom of the underworld, and Kiryu has to find a way back out.
The game will also feature playable returning characters such as Gorou Majima, Taiga Saejima, and Daigo Dojima, and is set to take place in Sotenbori, Osaka.
