Evaluation

Yakuza: Like a Dragon launched on November 10, 2020 as a complete, standalone RPG. All six DLC packs — costume sets, the Job Set, the Karaoke Set, the Management Mode Set, and the Pachislot Machines — were released on launch day, meaning the game shipped as a full package with its extras included from day one. Post-launch patches in November and December 2020 addressed bugs and added minor quality-of-life gifts, but no additional paid or free content was announced or released for the game itself after launch. The developer's news activity on this store page has since pivoted entirely to promoting new entries in the Like a Dragon / Yakuza franchise: Like a Dragon Gaiden (November 2023), Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (announced for January 2024), Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (announced September 2024, released February 2025), and Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties (February 2026). None of these posts announce new content for Yakuza: Like a Dragon itself — they are series-wide announcements cross-posted to this game's page. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced expansions, and no developer statements indicating further updates are planned for this title. The game launched complete and has remained so.

RISE LIKE A DRAGON


Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking grunt of a low-ranking yakuza family in Tokyo, faces an 18-year prison sentence after taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit. Never losing faith, he loyally serves his time and returns to society to discover that no one was waiting for him on the outside, and his clan has been destroyed by the man he respected most.
Ichiban sets out to discover the truth behind his family's betrayal and take his life back, drawing a ragtag group of society’s outcasts to his side: Adachi, a rogue cop, Nanba, a homeless ex-nurse, and Saeko, a hostess on a mission. Together, they are drawn into a conflict brewing beneath the surface in Yokohama and must rise to become the heroes they never expected to be.
