Last week, Ryū ga Gotoku and Sega released a brand-new trailer for the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which also revealed the voice actors that will be dubbing the English version of the game — which is great news, since only the very first Yakuza game was ever dubbed.
Ryū ga Gotoku had already dubbed Judgment — although this game isn't really a Yakuza game per se, even when it it takes place in the same universe — so it really is nice to see them wanting to go the extra mile and dubbing Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
What was really surprising, and quite the pleasant news, was the fact that renowned actor George Takei will be voicing supporting character Masumi Arakawa. Later that day, Sega released a behind the scenes video that saw Takei himself introducing us to his character.
Likewise, Yakuza: Like a Dragon main protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, was revealed to be voiced by Kaiji Tang, and today Sega has released yet another behind the scenes trailer for the upcoming title — with Tang introducing us to Ichiban Kasuga, and how this character is different from Kazuma Kiryu; the series' former protagonist.
Have a look:
Become Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking yakuza grunt left on the brink of death by the man he trusted most. Take up your legendary bat and get ready to crack some underworld skulls in dynamic RPG combat set against the backdrop of modern-day Japan.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is expected to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Windows 10 in November; PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X release dates yet to be determined.
