Yakuza: Like a Dragon adds PS5 version, launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in November in the west

Yakuza: Like a Dragon will launch for PlayStation 5 in the west in addition to its previously announced Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions, Sega announced.

The PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam, Humble Store, and Microsoft Store) versions will launch in November. As previously announced, the Xbox Series X version will launch on day one of the console’s release date. The PlayStation 5 version will release at a later date.

The Xbox versions will support “Smart Delivery,” ensuring consumers will only need to purchase the game once to play it on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X when both the console and that version of the game are available.

A PlayStation 5 upgrade path is also being planned and will be announced at a later date.

The previously announced “Day One Edition” of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be officially titled the “Day Ichi Edition.” (“Ichi” means “one” in Japanese, and is also a nickname for protagonist Ichiban Kasuga—whose first name means “No. 1.”) It is joined “Hero” and “Legendary Hero” editions, which are available for pre-order on digital storefronts starting today. Here is an overview of each edition:

Sega also announced the English voice cast of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which includes:

• Kaiji Tang as Ichiban Kasuga, protagonist of the story returning from 18 years spent in prison.
• George Takei as Masumi Arakawa, patriarch of the Arakawa Family.
