Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth details minigames

It’s not enough that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has Dondoko Island, arcade games, randomly arranged dungeons and numerous other activities, but there’s also Sujimon. The Pokemon-like activity involves capturing Sujimon throughout Hawaii, training them and fighting in 3v3 battles.

Not content with aping Animal Crossing in its off-the-wall island building minigame, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will also add a Pokémon-inspired experience to its ever-expanding list of things to do. Sujimon, as its known, will see you collecting eclectic characters from all around Hawaii, and training them to create the ultimate team. Your goal is to dethrone the existing champions of the Sujimon battle world: the Discreet Four and the Sujimon Master.

Final Fantasy 7 fans have only just now realised that Cloud Strife's original blocky design bears a striking resemblance to Teen Gohan from Dragon Ball Z.

Publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released new information and screenshots for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth introducing Sujimon.

Ahead of the upcoming launch of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Director Masayoshi Yokoyama was featured in an interview published on Automaton Media. Yokoyama, a writer on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, revealed some interesting facts about the game.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s output in 2023 has been pretty impressive, with Like a Dragon: Ishin! andLike a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name garnering acclaim. Both titles made their way to Game Pass, the latter even launching on day one. However, the studio’s next mainline title, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, won’t be following suit.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s titles tend to be quite long, not counting Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the team’s next mainline title, is no exception, with Honolulu City over three times bigger than Yokohama from Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

The official website for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, RGG Studio’s next mainline entry for the franchise, has been updated with new details. It discusses the Dungeons that players will venture to, both in Hawaii and Yokohama, which serve as “the strongholds of various ruffians” (translation via DeepL).

The Like A Dragon (formerly Yakuza) series is more popular than it's ever been at the moment, and its newfound success has convinced developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios to return to its older and more niche titles and give them a fresh coat of paint. Like a Dragon: Ishin came to the West for the first time earlier this year, and Yakuza: Dead Souls fans had hoped the zombie-slaying spinoff would get the same love down the road.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is taking a little roguelike inspiration with a dungeon that changes every time you delve into it.

Publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released a new set of character spotlight trailers for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
