PS5 version also confirmed

Xbox Series X could well be released on or after November 13, according to a new Microsoft Store listing for Yakuza: Like A Dragon. 

So how does that tie into the Xbox Series X release date? Well, an Xbox Wire post has already confirmed that Yakuza 7 will be a “Day One” game for the console. That means the console will either coincide with this November 13 release date or launch afterward so Yakuza is available at launch. Early Microsoft Store listings have been wrong before, but this November 13 release date lines up with previous holiday targets for Like A Dragon. We're expecting both next-gen consoles to launch sometime in or around November, but this helps narrow it down. 

Today brought more than the game's alleged release date, too. As IGN reports, Sega has now confirmed that Like A Dragon will come to PS5. However, while it will be an Xbox Series X launch title, the PS5 version will arrive "at a later date." And as is the case with Xbox Smart Delivery, Like A Dragon will offer a PS5 upgrade path so players can bring their Yakuza shenanigans to the next generation at no extra cost. Oh, and did I mention Star Trek's George Takei will apparently voice Arakawa family head Masumi Arakawa in the English version? 

Hands-on with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the wildest and riskiest Yakuza game yet.
