Award for excellence Reason
Thanks to “Oryu,” the most extreme fighting style, and the “Agent Style,” a new battle style using gadgets, actions are more exciting.
The number of speedrun elements is maximum such as a complete recovery of Cabaret Club Czar, many play spots, and especially intense brawls at a stadium involving a larger number of people than ever.
A moving story about “Kazuma Kiryu,” who has faked his death and challenged difficulties to protect his beloved ones.
The game received the award because many fans said the ending “moved my heart” and “I could not stop crying.”
Work Introduction
Kazuma Kiryu, a legendary former gangster, has faked his death and given up his life to protect his beloved ones.
This game depicts blank story after “Yakuza 6: The Song of Life” from Kazuma Kiryu's point of view.
In addition to advanced battle actions and stages, the game is full of play spots full of speedrun elements. Please pay attention to attractive characters played by gorgeous actors.
Comment of the game producer
It is such an honor to win this wonderful award in spite of a fact that the package is “gaiden,” or a supplementary story, with a compact volume and a reasonable price under the concept of “being easy to play and easy to pick up.” Please accept our heartful thanks to supporters and evaluators.
This game shows how Kazuma Kiryu, a former hero, lives his life in depth under the background of “Yakuza: Like a Dragon,” which tells a story of Ichiban Kasuga, a new hero.
We wanted to create a game that shows the way of life and attractions of Kazuma Kiryu to everybody again. We continued to develop the game while wishing so.
The team had to develop this game simultaneously with “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.” It was a tough challenge, but we are really happy and proud of releasing a satisfactory game, which moves the hearts of many people.
We will keep on creating unusual and interesting games. Our goal is to exceed your forecasts but never betray your expectations for us to create good games. Please do look forward to a next game.
Please keep on supporting us.
Ryosuke Horii, Chief Director of Yakuza/Like a Dragon series
