Sega’s new Yakuza game, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, looks bonkers

Sega’s next game in the Like A Dragon franchise, formerly known in the West as Yakuza, is coming in January. Like A Dragon: Infinite WealthThe franchise is sent to Hawaii where the protagonist Ichiban Kazuga travels to find his mother. He ends up at rock bottom and penniless. Kazuma Kiryu, a former Yakuza heroine is also available in The Infinite Rich, and based on Sega’s first gameplay trailer for the next Like A Dragon game, everything the duo will do is beyond ridiculous.

Here’s what that includes, according to You Are A Dragon: Unlimited Wealth’s first gameplay trailer.

Like A Dragon has now become a RPG with turn-based gameplay. Ichiban can also summon friends or fighters to hire using the Poundmates application. Ichiban is now able to summon a huge dragon and smoke out his enemies. (The Yakuza is like a Dragon let you call upon Kiryu, who could use the Essence of the Dragon God, but Ichiban’s dragon powers are less metaphorical.)

A new minigame called Crazy Eats is a reimagining of Sega’s classic arcade game Crazy Taxi, but this time, you’re on a bike. Crazy Eats puts a fresh spin on gig economy by allowing players to gather together and bring food directly to Hawaiians. Uber Eats is a curiously visible sign in The Infinite RichThis licensing deal doesn’t seem to apply to the gig economy minigame.
