Today, Sega revealed that the highly anticipated western launch of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will happen in November this year. Previously, only a late 2020 launch window was apparent. Moreover, a listing for the game on the Microsoft Store currently displays a November 13 launch, which may be the planned arrival date though it has not been confirmed yet.
Sega also revealed today that in addition to the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X - available day one -, and PlayStation 4 versions, Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also land on the PlayStation 5. However, the next-gen PlayStation 5 version will see a delayed launch. Similar to the Xbox Smart Delivery system, PlayStation 4 players will also see an upgrade path made available to them later.
