BBGame also set up the Yakuza mobile game’s official website, which includes a video message from Masayoshi Yokoyama, the head of the Like a Dragon series developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The site also includes a set of images that explain the mobile app’s gameplay systems.

City of Wars Powered by Like a Dragon will have players build their own town and join a faction while cooperating with fellow members to capture towns owned by other opposing factions. The mobile game has a single unified global server, so players will engage in cross-regional interactions regardless of their set languages.

Players can also recruit characters from the Like A Dragon / Yakuza game series, including Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, to join their fighting team. Their respective Japanese voice actors, such as Takaya Kuroda and Hidenari Ugaki, will also return to reprise their roles. The mobile game also has a Yakuza series staple feature where players can interact with cabaret club hostesses and give them gifts to receive support skills in return.

Here are official images of the Yakuza mobile game.

City of Wars Powered by Like A Dragon is now available for iOS and Android mobile devices in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
