The last few months have been a rollercoaster ride for the Xbox platform. Everything from the CMA blocking the Activision Blizzard deal, to some questioning Xbox leadership after the Redfall debacle, to the EU breathing life again into the ABK acquisition after approving it. Needless to say, if you’re an Xbox fan, recent times were turbulent to put it lightly. But now, we are in the midst of the much-beloved summer gaming convention season.
To say this year’s Xbox showcase is highly anticipated is an understatement. Fans are through the roof with hype and anticipation. This year’s Xbox Showcase promises to deliver to fans what they’ve been longing for, quality first-party games. Best of all, the Showcase is already confirmed that it will not feature any full CGI trailers. During the Xbox Showcase, fans got a glimpse of Like A Dragon 8 Infinite Wealth.
Like A Dragon 8 Infinite Wealth is the eighth mainline entry in the Yakuza series, which will now be known as “Like A Dragon” in the US. This is the follow-up to Yakuza: Like A Dragon, the 2020 Yakuza 7 release. Like A Dragon 8 will feature both protagonists Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga. Plus it will follow the events from this year’s upcoming, Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Like A Dragon 8 will be a return to the turn-based RPG mechanics from Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
