Steam is currently running a special promotion on the latest additions to the popular Like a Dragon franchise, which includes notable titles like Infinite Wealth. These games are being offered at discounted rates for a limited time, providing enthusiasts with a great opportunity to grab them at reduced prices.
The critically acclaimed Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth was launched in January to widespread praise. Fans have lauded it as one of the top entries in the series due to its exceptional storytelling, diverse character roster, unique Hawaiian setting, and enhanced turn-based combat system. Moreover, it stands out as the most expansive game in the franchise, featuring a plethora of side quests across various captivating locations.
Following the conclusion of Kazuma Kiryu's journey in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, the release of Yakuza: Like a Dragon in 2020 marked a new chapter for the Like a Dragon saga. This installment introduced a fresh cast of characters, led by the new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga, and unveiled the new Yokohama district of Ijincho for exploration. Despite this shift, Kiryu's story continued to unfold. In preparation for the launch of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio unveiled Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name last year, bridging the narrative gap between Yakuza 6, his brief appearance in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and the latest release.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently announced a significant week-long discount on these recent Like a Dragon titles for Steam users. Yakuza: Like a Dragon is now available at an impressive 80% off, while its successors, Like a Dragon Gaiden and Infinite Wealth, are offered at 40% and 30% discounts respectively. Notably, the original Yakuza: Like a Dragon receives the highest discount due to its earlier release. Additionally, the developer emphasized that all three games are verified for Steam Deck compatibility.
Steam Discount Prices for Like a Dragon Games
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon - $11.99 (80% off)
- Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name - $29.99 (40% off)
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - $48.99 (30% off)
While fans delighted in the opportunity to purchase these titles at reduced rates, one notable absence from the discounted selection was Like a Dragon: Ishin. This remake of the 2014 Yakuza spinoff set in the 1860s was not included in the Steam promotion. Despite its standalone narrative set apart from the main Yakuza storyline, Like a Dragon: Ishin boasts a rich plot akin to the core games, making its exclusion from the sale a disappointment.
With the recent debut of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, it may be some time before Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio discloses future plans for the franchise, including the potential introduction of additional spinoff titles like Like a Dragon Gaiden or Ishin. Rumors surrounding Yakuza Kiwami 3, a revamped version of Yakuza 3, have surfaced following hints from the franchise's director, although no official confirmation has been provided as of yet.
