Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is the latest entry in the long-running Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) series, and it's set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC this week.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name brings the series' former protagonist Kazuma Kiryu back into the spotlight ahead of his next adventure in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This entry covers what the former Dragon of Dojima was up to behind the scenes during the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon – think of this as Yakuza 7.5. We gave the newest Like a Dragon title a 4/5 in our review and called it "as good as any mainline entry in the series".

And while the game itself is well worth the price, Xbox and PC players will be getting the game for free with Xbox Game Pass as a day one release. Not only that, but completing the game will give you access to a lengthy demo of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ahead of its release on January 26, 2024.
