You’ve heard it right! It’s time to complete the main entries of the legendary Yakuza series – Yakuza: Like a Dragon, its Hero Edition and its 5 DLCs ( Job Set, Karaoke Set, Legends Costume Set, Management Mode Set, Ultimate Costume Set) are now all available on GOG with a -50% discount each, that lasts until August 4th, 1 PM UTC!

Become Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking yakuza grunt left on the brink of death by the man he trusted most. Take up your legendary bat and get ready to crack some underworld skulls in dynamic RPG combat set against the backdrop of modern-day Japan.



Step into the neon-lit streets of Yokohama and embark on an unforgettable journey through the gritty underworld in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, 8th main entry in the series, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA.

The legendary Yakuza series needs no introduction as it delivered outstanding gaming experiences filled with action and great stories that have captured the hearts of players throughout the years.

Like a Dragon originally released in 2020 and it provided a fresh take on the series while still remaining very much a part of its incredibly captivating and beloved core.



The game boldly introduces a fresh protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, a lovable and earnest ex-yakuza member who is not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. Unlike the previous Yakuza games, which featured the iconic Kazuma Kiryu, Ichiban Kasuga brings a whole new perspective and charm to the narrative. His unique personality, along with a gripping tale of betrayal, loyalty, and redemption, will keep you thoroughly engaged from start to finish.

Another significant departure from previous Yakuza titles is the innovative turn-based combat system that the Like a Dragon presents. Gone are the traditional beat-'em-up mechanics, replaced by strategic, turn-based battles reminiscent of classic RPGs. Players assemble a team of quirky characters, each with their own distinct fighting style and abilities, offering a diverse range of tactical options. The combat system adds depth and complexity to the gameplay, making every encounter a thrilling and strategic experience.



Yokohama comes alive with breathtaking detail in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Prepare to explore the bustling city streets, iconic landmarks, and hidden alleyways as you immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this virtual world. Whether you're uncovering secrets, engaging in side quests, or simply soaking in the sights and sounds, Yokohama feels like a living, breathing city, ready to reward your curiosity at every turn.

Beyond the central storyline, the title boasts a wealth of engaging side quests and activities. From managing a business empire to kart racing and batting cages, there's an abundance of activities to indulge in when you need a break from the main plot. Each side quest is infused with humor, heart, and occasionally heart-pounding action, adding depth and breadth to the overall experience.



To add even more, the Yakuza series has always been known for its captivating storytelling, and Like a Dragon is no exception. It deftly balances the serious and emotional moments with quirky and hilarious scenarios. Prepare to laugh out loud one moment and feel deeply moved the next. The game masterfully blends these emotions, making the characters and their journeys incredibly relatable and endearing.

All in all, we couldn’t have been more happy to welcome Yakuza: Like a Dragon to our catalog and give you an ability to complete the main entries of the series on our platform. Be sure to check it out, make full use of the -50% discounts and just enjoy this masterpiece of a game. Have a great one!

dtgreene: In my case it's the reverse; this is the only game in the series that I actually *am* interested in, and it's because of the turn-based fights.
If you know Dragon Quest series, it's full of references apparently.

Nice to see more Sega games on GOG. So, uhh...when's Sonic getting here? Or other older Sega PC games?
Is SEGA really that lazy to make new entry on GOG, call it "Legendary Hero Edition" and put all content there?

They removed Denuvo from the game but couldn't remove 2 MTX DLCs from Legendary Hero store pack. WTF
Wishlisted because this game has cats.
Wow, did not expected it so soon, but Thanks for bringing it here as well! As other said, cam’t wait for Judgement games release as well. The only thing, which I am missing on your store and would make it absolutely perfect for me, is Tales of and Souls games by Bamco. If you’ll ever be able to bring them to the store, I would finally be able to ditch the consoles as well and stay completely DŔM free forever :-P
Awesome surprise, now all we need is Judgement.

MarkoH01: So Gwent does not have MTX? I mean it mustn't since GOG does not use them, right?
Maybe it would be better to say "... MTX systems we usually don't use", right?
lol.

sega's eye-roll at this must have been SO LOUD that everyone around the world heard it :P

edited in later: and when they DID eye-roll, i bet it made that old-time-y seeeggaaaa sound that you'd get when you booted up the genesis.

NIce, now I'm waiting for Judgment games. Got the first one on steam, but I will gladly buy the second one here.

Or just give it a new name, if they don't want the same name to have two meanings.
Nice! :)
Wasn't expecting this to show up so soon. Ok Sega, you're doing good and I've gone and bought all the Yakuza games you've put on here.

Can it be Sonic's turn next? Please?

That quotation, is, at best, only a partial explanation.

But we need a full explanation.

What, exactly, does this DLC do?

And does it use real-life-money microtransactions, or in-game-currency-only microtransactions?

And if it's the former, then they still probably should have edited the DLC in such a way that it's still included in the GOG version, but, without using any real-life-money microtransactions, as opposed to just outright removing it.

Anyway, can someone who knows about this matter please provide an in-depth, comprehensive, full explanation of exactly what this missing DLC does and how it functions.

I would be happy if they could give us some of the older Total Wars soon. Maybe Shogun 1,2, medieval 1,2 with Rome and Empire.
Gonna have to pass like I did with Dawn of War II, and The Cave until I see the sale price match Steam's all time low.
