Why it matters
RGG Studio is putting a series defined by Kamurocho street brawling onto a user-generated platform where the audience meets the game on its own terms, not in a storefront.
Key Facts
- RGG Studio announced Yakuza Blocks: Like a Dragon on Friday.
- Yakuza Blocks: Like a Dragon is playable on the Roblox platform.
- The licensed game is set in Kamurocho, the fictional district from the series.
- Toshihiro Nagoshi created the Like a Dragon series in 2005 for the PlayStation 2.
- RGG Studio's Stranger Than Heaven launches on January 15.
The licensed game sets players in Kamurocho, where they explore and fight to rise through the ranks, and the studio says to bring a crew. The series is known in the West as Yakuza, and Toshihiro Nagoshi created it in 2005 for the PlayStation 2.
The title, Yakuza Blocks: Like a Dragon, is described by RGG Studio as a place to grab a crew and explore Kamurocho, fight, and rise through the ranks together. The announcement went out on the studio's X/Twitter account on Friday.
The name on the listing keeps the old Western Yakuza label rather than the Like a Dragon branding used for the numbered games. The series runs nine mainline entries plus spin-offs, and RGG Studio is separately preparing Stranger Than Heaven for January 15 on Xbox X|S, PS5, and PC via Steam, and through Game Pass.
