Yakuza / Like a Dragon Dev RGG Studio Announces Project Century - The Game Awards 2024
Yakuza / Like a Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has revealed Project Century at The Game Awards 2024, a new action game set in 1915 with some absolutely fantastic vibes.
Despite a pretty lengthy trailer, we don’t actually know much about what Project Century is. It looks kind of like a classic Yakuza action game, with a tough guy protagonist walking around what we probably can safely assume is Japan, beating people up. But this is much gorier than we’re used to seeing, the protagonist seems to be a mystery man we haven’t met before, and the Japan we’re exploring seems to have some sort of alt-history stuff going on? Neat!
Fans will likely be surprised at the announcement given RGG Studio only revealed its last game in September and is yet to release it, as Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii isn’t due out until February 21. But this isn’t the highly anticipated and most obvious choice of Yakuza / Like a Dragon 9, however, which still goes unmentioned at RGG Studio. The developer only released the last mainline entry in January with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, of course, but given its intense release schedule, another mainline game already wouldn’t be out of the question.
The developer is known for juggling multiple games at once, as in the last five years, for example, RGG Studio has released Yakuza 4 Remastered, Yakuza 5 Remastered, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Judgment Remastered, Lost Judgment, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, alongside three Super Monkey Ball Games and an enhanced remaster of Virtua Fighter 5. That’s 12 games in total.
In our 9/10 review of the last RGG Studio release, IGN said: “Sprawling, enthralling, and packed with dynamic brawling, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth isn’t just the best turn-based Like a Dragon game, it’s one of the greatest games in the entire series.”
