The footage, presented live by Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama, showcases several elements of the game.

We get to see a gorgeous rendition of the new setting based on the real city of Yokohama, including landmarks like Chinatown and the Minato Mirai 21 district.

We then move on to the turn-based battles, which appear to be as brutal as ever. 

Last, but certainly not least, Yokoyama-san provided a look at Dragon Kart, a Mario Kart-like minigame that appears to be a lot of fun.

You can check out the footage below, already set on the relevant spots. One thing is for sure: Having been to Yokohama many times, the level of fidelity certainly matches the tradition of the series. 

If you’d like to see more about the game, you can check out the original reveal, the first trailer with English subtitles, and more trailers and gameplay from yesterday

Yakuza: Like a Dragon will launch in Japan on January 16, 2020, exclusively for PS4. It’ll also come west later next year.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
