Toshihiro Nagoshi helped found studio Ryu Ga Gotoku and create the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games, but he left in 2021 to start Nagoshi Studio and begin a new journey. During The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley presented the first look at what he has been up to with Gang of Dragon.
The game, which we still don’t know exactly what genre it is, has strong Yakuza/Like a Dragon vibes with a tough guy casually beating up a group of thugs in a bar after they try and get some money from him. The presumed protagonist is also wearing a chain necklace with a big collared suit and looks like he would fit in just fine among Kiryu and pals.
The game is apparently deep in development, but does not yet have a release date.
It’s exciting to see Toshihiro Nagoshi branching out with a new project! The creativity and storytelling he brings to gaming are always impressive. Looking forward to seeing what “Gang Of Dragon” has in store for us!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how Nagoshi’s unique storytelling style from the Yakuza series could influence a new genre. I’m curious to see how the game will blend action with narrative depth.
be a game-changer for Gang Of Dragon. His ability to blend humor with serious themes really sets his work apart. It’ll be interesting to see how he incorporates that signature style into a new setting!
