every Yakuza <\/em>game has some kind of weird side hustle going on where players can sink hours of their time into what’s essentially a management sim. Of Like a Dragon<\/em> is a confectionary store. Of Yakuza 6<\/em> it was a baseball team. In one of the series’ two upcoming games, though, it’s going to be something more familiar\u2014and beloved\u2014by fans.<\/p>\n

That’s right, cabaret management is coming back for Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name<\/em>, the Kazuma Kiryu spinoff that’s going to fill in some Yakuza <\/em>story<\/span> (and give players a throwback fighting experience). A key part of entries like Yakuza 0<\/em> and Yakuza Kiwami 2,<\/em> the game-within-a-game saw players taking control of a club, outfitting their hostesses then overseeing a night’s business, monitoring conversations and swapping out personnel like the most glittery sports game ever made.<\/p>\n

That’s quite a paragraph, but it also doesn’t even scratch the surface of why people love it so much, <\/em>and why it was such an improvement\u2014in terms of gameplay but also tone\u2014over the hostess management found in older games. Words can only do so much. This video does a much better job:<\/p>\n
