Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is considering moving its critically-acclaimed Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise to Unreal Engine from its currently-used Dragon Engine.
Dragon Engine has proven itself quite capable at showing off Japanese cities in a night time setting, and the studio is looking into whether Unreal Engine 5 can work for future titles.
The studio is currently researching Unreal Engine 5, according to Yokoyama.
Yokoyama acknowledges that its long-running Dragon Engine has begun showing its age.
