RGG Studio’s next showcase is also dated for autumn, because why not?
Here’s what it’s crucial that you know.
Kiryu’s very existence is kept a closely guarded secret within Daidoji.
There he languishes away each day in his self-imposed solitude.
Until one day, somebody arrives to drag Kiryu back into the fold."
So, Kiryu’s gone from underground organised crime, to underground government-approved crime.
Supporting cast characters have been updated on the website too.
We’ve got Kosei Shishido and Yuki Tsuruno ofYakuza 5and 7’s Watase Family.
Then there’s Akame, a “shadowy figure who knows the ins and outs of Sotenbori”.
She looks hella cool, I want to be her friend.
You might remember Homare Nishitani (Sr. Sr.), who was patriarch of the Kijin Clan duringYakuza 0.
It’s not clear if Homare Nishitani III is related to Nishitani Sr. Sr. or not.
The last new character we’re introduced to is Kihei Hanawa, leader of the Daidoji Faction.
Some short footage of Gaiden’s combat was shown during the showcase.
Both Kiryu’ssignature brawler styleandnew agent stylewere shown.
He may be old, but he can still pack a punch.
A different cutscene of aconversation between Ichiban and Kiryuwas shown.
The showcase ended with an announcement for thenext RGG Summit, which is set to take place in September.
