Like a Dragon: Ishin! Trailer Showcases All Four Combat Styles

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is going to be a very different kind of Yakuza game, primarily thanks to its period setting, new characters, and the fact that you’ll be playing as a samurai. At its core, however, it’s going to have more than a few elements that will be familiar to series fans- including multiple different combat styles that players will be able to swap in and out of in the middle of fights.

Sega has now released a new gameplay trailer that showcases each of these combat styles. The Swordsman and Gunsman styles have pretty self-explanatory names and each focus on specific weapons, while the Wild Dancer style focuses more on quick, elegant movements and mixed use of both, swords and guns. Finally, there’s the Brawler style, which is all about your fists and legs, and will be much more familiar to longtime Yakuza fans. Check out all four combat styles in the trailer below.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! launches on February 21, 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
