Yakuza: Like a Dragon Looks Superb in New English Dub Trailer, But Still No Release Date

Party time

by Robert Ramsey Wed 22nd Jul 2020

As gigantic fans of the Yakuza series, we here at Push Square can't wait to get our grubby mitts on Yakuza: Like a Dragon -- and the game's newest trailer has done an amazing job of feeding our hype. Once again, the role-playing title looks absolutely mental. Yakuza has always been wacky, but this latest entry looks to be taking things to the next level.

What's more, this fresh video features the English dub, which was only just announced. It sounds solid, and hopefully it'll end up being as high quality as Judgment's English voice track.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

No joke: I'm looking forward to this more than Cyberpunk 2077.

The trailer refers that is coming to PS4 and PS5.

I'm seeing November 13th on the PlayStation and Xbox Stores.
Not sure if this is nailed on but usually Xbox would just put "coming soon" like with the Fuser Pre orders on the store.

@Darylb88 This game is probably in the Series X event tomorrow given it was in the May event and that's probably when the release date is revealed. The stores probably updated too early.

@Grumblevolcano Could be, I am just surprised it is up on both stores with a firm date - November 13th does seem to be about right. I wonder if the English dub announcement was actually meant to be premiered by Xbox tomorrow but IGN slipped it early (They put the trailer up first).

@Darylb88 spot on with that. It's also coming to series X the day the console comes out.

A PS5 Patch will come out for the PS4 version at a later date but sega didn't confirm if it was free or not.

Okay, so at Argos here in the UK it lists the Yakuza 7 release date as the following: "Pre-order to be delivered by Royal Mail between 31st December 2020 & 2nd January 2021"

Hey an English dub! Now if Mark Hamill comes back to voice Majima, I’ll be overjoyed!

This looks SUPER entertaining. Maybe not a day one, but definitely want to get this one. Never played a Yakuza game before (sad I know), but this might be the one to sway me...

Sega, I love you but sometimes you infuriate me! If there's any truth to the mid November release date, Yakuza 7 can be completely overshadowed by Cyberpunk 2077. They did the very same with Yakuza 6, releasing it mere days ahead of God of War! Why not release it anywhere between August and October? No big releases until then. It's like you want your games to vanish in obscurity, like valkyria chronicles and Sakura wars.

I'm currently working my way through Yakuza 0 and loving it. Can't quite picture playing one in English though. I've got a loooong way to go before I get to this game!
