It sounds like there will be a touch of the ol’ roguelike in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, as an update to the game’s official website – spotted by Games Radar – mentions the inclusion of a dungeon which changes each time you visit it. To be fair, the grinding in predecessor Yakuza: Like a Dragon did get obscenely repetitive, so some variety in the form of an ever-changing arena should come appreciated.
SEGA’s already suggested this will be the longest Yakuza game yet, and looking at the sheer number of things to do – including an entire Animal Crossing minigame – it’s unlikely to be exaggerating. We’re not expecting the full roguelite experience from this random dungeon – we doubt you’ll be able to adjust your build with each playthrough like in the recent God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, for example – but it sounds like a splash a variety in a title that already seems ridiculously diverse.

Kinda glad I decided to wait on getting Gaiden for Infinite Wealth. I usually like having gaps between Like a Dragon games so I don't get burnt out on them.
I never got around to playing Ishin yet outside of the demo but Lost Judgment was the last one I beat about a year ago. Really looking forward to hopping back in as Ichiban.
Like a Dragon is one of my favourite JRPGs due to the grown up/real world twist on JRPG mechanics mixed with Yakuza wackiness. Infinite Wealth is one of my most wanted games of 2024.
@Deadlyblack Gaiden is a pretty short compared to most entries and it has a fantastic ending! I really recommend giving it a shot over the holidays (on sale on PSN right now). It's tied for my favourite game of the year and I'll never forget some of the moments.
It has a slow start but then ramps up and gets hard to put down. I'm salivating for Infinite Wealth now... not burned out at all. I'd highly recommend checking out Gaiden!
@Deadlyblack gaiden is pretty short. If you focus just on the main story, you can complete it within a few days maybe. I've been doing the mini games, so haven't completed it yet and I have been playing other games.
This is one of the best things I've heard about this game
At some point one has to ask "What isn't in this game?"
Year of the dragon. This and Dragon's Dogma 2. Can't wait!
Wasn't the Kamurocho Underground Dungeon and the Millennium Tower just this? I remember playing the Dungeon and Tower for HOURS just to level up my jobs to 99 so I could tackle the True Final Millennium Tower. Shamefully I never got to the final boss in that mode...may go back and finish someday
@Deadlyblack The Gaiden story is important for context for the next game, but to be honest it's quite a short game and you could watch a recap video if you want to avoid burnout but take the essential info.
Oh god, say it ain't so... I found there is usually two types of gamers in this category, ones that worship rouge-lite and ones who absolutely hate it. I'm in the latter... Love turn based, hate random dungeons and rougelite.
