Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has done some zany things with the Yakuza series over the years, but one of the zaniest might be related to a demo for the upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (formerly known as Like A Dragon 8). Ahead of Like a Dragon 8 is Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who erased his name, and Ryu Ga Gotoku revealed that if one clears Like a Dragon Gaiden, they’ll gain access to an Infinite Wealth demo that contains exclusive scenes and content for the game.
Ryu Ga Gotoku shared the details of the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth demo in a post on the studio’s Twitter this week. According to the post, it would seem that demo will be distributed soon through Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Players will be able to check out “special content that includes scenes that are not in the main part of Like a Dragon 8.” It’s also noted near the bottom that “this trial version will be unlocked after clearing Yakuza 7 Gaiden.”
If we’re reading this correctly, it would seem that in order to access the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth demo, you have to complete and roll credits on Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. That seems like a tall order to play a demo, but players who manage to do it will be apparently be treated to scenes that otherwise aren’t in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Currently, Like a Dragon Gaiden is slated to release on November 8, 2023 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Announced alongside it, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will come after. As we await more details, stay tuned for updates out of Ryu Ga Gotoku and the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series.
