<p>Today during Summer Games Fest, we got our first extended look at gameplay for Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.</p>
<p>As previously revealed, Gaiden takes place between the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, filling in the gaps of what longtime series protagonist Kiryu Kazuma was up to after faking his own death in the former before reappearing in the latter. </p>
<p>From the looks of it, Kiryu, now being called “Codename Joryu,” has been running jobs for a mysterious someone. As you might expect, this mainly means he’s beating the holy hell out of dudes in the street. The trailer shows a variety of large-scale fights, as well as Kiryu’s new fighting abilities, which include a rope-type weapon he can use to bring items and people closer to him.</p>
<p>Check out the trailer below:</p>
