Sega\u2019s fiscal year is coming to a close, and it has released a report detailing just how much of an impact Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/em><\/strong> has had for the publisher.<\/p>\n

Despite the Yakuza<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series’ continued growth in sales, selling roughly 3 million games in about two years, Sega still considers Yakuza<\/em> a niche franchise<\/a>. Sega attributes much of the game\u2019s western success to the series\u2019 in-depth depiction of Japanese life and culture. That may change, however, if the series’ critical and commercial success continues to boom at its present pace.<\/p>\n

In a new report released last week, Sega named Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/em> as one of three games that boosted its third-quarter sales. The report specified that its western release is what provided that boost, alongside Sega\u2019s ever-popular Football Manager<\/em> and Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster<\/em>. The quarter in which Like A Dragon <\/em>released is one of Sega\u2019s strongest in the past three fiscal years.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

While the report does not provide specific sales numbers, Yakuza: Like A Dragon <\/em>must have sold well. Like A Dragon <\/a><\/em>did not crack the US top 20 sales charts<\/a> in November when it released, or in December, but it must have done well by Sega\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n

Like A Dragon<\/em> was also very well-received<\/a>, garnering scores like a 5\/5 from TheGamer and an average of 83 on Metacritic. Many considered it not only one of the best entries in the franchise, but a great jumping-on point for those unfamiliar with the series.<\/p>\n

Yakuza <\/em>series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi recently made a shift within Sega to become a creative director<\/a>, something that could be taken as a sign that Sega wants to hone in more on what makes Yakuza <\/em>work so well in order to further boost its success.<\/p>\n

In terms of what is next for the Yakuza <\/em>franchise, Yakuza<\/em> spin-off Judgement <\/em>is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S<\/a> with some performance upgrades. The 2018 murder-mystery has players taking on the role of Detective Takayuki Yagami investigating a series of murders of yakuza members.<\/p>\n

Surely there will be more Yakuza <\/em>games in the future, but what fans can expect is unknown at this point. Some suspect that another Kiwami <\/em>may be next. The Kiwami <\/em>games are remakes of the earlier titles in the main series, with remakes Yakuza<\/em> 1 and 2 having already been made. Still, others suspect that another spin-off like Judgment<\/em> may come, given the updated rerelease of Judgment<\/em>. Regardless, the future for the Yakuza <\/em>series is bright.<\/p>\n

Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/strong><\/em> is currently available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S. A PS5 port of the game is in the works.<\/p>\n
