SEGA has announced a Ryu ga Gotoku 15th anniversary stream for December 8th at 6AM EST / 11AM GMT, which looks to focus on the future of the increasingly popular Yakuza series.
While the series has been massive in Japan and other territories for a while now, the last few years have seen a huge escalation in admiration for the franchise in the west - stemming from the absolutely brilliant Yakuza 0 (which is in Xbox Game Pass).
The show is set to star Takaya Kuroda and Kazuhiro Nakaya, the latter being the voice actor behind Yakuza: Like A Dragon's protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga. While it's not confirmed what will be in the show, a translation of the announcement tweet reads: "We will look back on the history of 15 years and announce future developments."
With Xbox's growing relationship with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio following the limited-time next gen release of Yakuza: Like A Dragon on the Xbox Series X|S, it would be immensely welcome to see new titles added to the service. Xbox is still yet to see the Yakuza Remastered Collection, which includes Yakuza 3, 4 and 5, as well as the spin-off Judgment, which released on the PS4 in the west last year.
Would you be happy to see more Yakuza games added to Xbox and Game Pass? Let us know below.

I'd guess this is the rest of the franchise coming to Xbox and maybe Like a Dragon coming to Game Pass.
I am also waiting for Yakuza 6
Really hoping 3-6 come to Xbox. Loving Like A Dragon so far. It does have a very slow start though (e.g. slower than 0) but such a good game otherwise.
Really hoping for the collection.. and if greedy judgement
I’m playing through like a dragon and it’s great fun, it’s turned the wacky up to 11 though which I’m still not sure about, will have to see how the story plays out, but right now feel it’s a bit too ‘nuts’.
I think going forward it’s going to be on everything now and I’ll be interested to see if they keep it as an RPG.
How about patching Yakuza 7 on Series X? The game crashes way too often
