- "We don't reuse enough": Far Cry 4 director says developers need to stop doing "pointless work" and learn lessons from Elden Ring and Like A Dragon - 16 March 2026
No matter how many times you walk through the Like A Dragon series' nearly ever-present stomping ground of Kamurocho, odds are you'll never get sick of seeing its streets and alleyways. RGG Studio are among many studios - Elden Ring developers Fromsoftware included - who've seen their creative asset reuse widely praised in recent years. While they're far from the first to master leaning on previous bits of design top help save time and resources, Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 3 director Alex Hutchinson reckons it's more key than ever right now that other studios follow their lead.

- Like a Dragon creators won't buckle to mainstream western tastes: 'people start making strange things when they misunderstand what their business is supposed to be' - 2 December 2025
The Yakuza series has spawned well over a dozen games since it debuted in 2005, and I haven't included any of the substantial remasters in that figure. As prolific as Ryu Ga Gotoku is, they're also remarkably consistent: the same bonkers mix of melodrama and absurd humour is threaded through every one of these games, even the ones set in the 17th century...

- Officially licenced Like a Dragon spin-offs made by Roblox creators may be coming, and will have to stick to the karaoke lad lore - 16 July 2025
We clearly don't get enough Like a Dragon/Yakuza series spin-offs. Forget about the fact RGG unleashed a Goro Majima pirate adventure a matter of months ago, I need Tojo Clan tales 24/7 and 365 days a year. Enter Roblox, which is very much the terrifying user-generated everything platform's terrifying user-generated everything platform. The company that oversees it, Roblox Corp, have just announced a new "Roblox License Manager" that'll allow fellow corps to let Roblox players submit to build games based on stuff like Squid Game, Saw, and Twilight, then split the Robux revenue these games generate between the two parties. Sega have signed up and are offering the Like A Dragon series, but not to just anybody. Read more

- A unique aspect of Japanese architecture turned out to be a key reason the Like a Dragon games can reuse assets so effectively—and deliver more compact, memorable open worlds than western cities - 25 March 2025
Spend enough time running errands and beating up thugs in the Like a Dragon (née Yakuza) series, and you'll likely be able to find your way around Tokyo's real-life red light district, Kabukichō—that's how close to the real thing Sega got with its fictional recreation of Kamurochō. Over some 20 years of games Sega has famously reused big chunks of the Kamurochō map, allowing its developers to crank out new Like a Dragon games at a rapid pace while focusing their efforts on creating new assets where they'll make the biggest impact...

- Не самый большой куш: Обзор Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - 15 March 2025
В 2021 году продюсер Масаёси Ёкояма объяснял в интервью GameMAG.ru , что для Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio определяющими факторами формирования новых игр являются сюжетный контекст и вовлеченные в него персонажи. Иными словами, в зависимости от перспективы, с которой игрок наблюдает за событиями, меняются и сами события – актеры выбирают сценарий, декорации решают тон. Такому принципу подчинена и реконтекстуализация уже готовых элементов: Камурочо неизменен, а вот, что происходит на его улицах, предсказать достаточно сложно – тут тебе и мировые заговоры, и мелкие криминальные разборки, и нашествия зомби, и бог его знает что еще.

(In cases where Shen has already sent you a message about the transaction, the scenario will progress even if you do not have all of the Golden Balls in your inventory. Fixed a bug that prevented the sub-story “The One” movie from being displayed correctly in some cases. Fixed an issue in 1.12 where the frame rate dropped and loading times had increased compared to previous versions. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your ongoing support for the Like a Dragon & Yakuza series.

- I thought Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii would burn me out on the Like a Dragon series, but now I know that's never going to happen - 26 February 2025
When I look at the trajectory of the Yakuza series over the last decade I feel dizzy. Yakuza 0 released 10 years ago and is arguably the game that catapulted the series from cult awareness to mainstream success in the west. The following year, in 2016, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio released Yakuza 6 , which was meant to capstone the long and elaborate Kazuma Kiryu saga, thus making room for a series refresh. And boy did the series get a refresh, even if RGG refuses to let go of Kiryu... Read more.
