Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios confirmed late last year that work on the next mainline Yakuza game was underway, with the game set several years after the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Ichiban Kasuga returning as protagonist.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has previously also confirmed that the next Yakuza game will be another turn-based RPG, similar to Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Now, however, we seem to have gotten our first brief glimpses of it- though not through official channels, interestingly enough.
As spotted and reported by Famitsu, MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura recently uploaded a video in which he tours RGG Studios.
