Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Unveils New Projects at The Game Awards
Today at The Game Awards, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the creative force behind the Like a Dragon series, announced two exciting new projects: a highly anticipated installment in the Virtua Fighter franchise and a brand new intellectual property (IP) dubbed Project Century.
New Chapter for Virtua Fighter
In a brief but thrilling reveal, the studio confirmed the development of the next iteration in the beloved Virtua Fighter series, a mainstay of SEGA’s fighting game lineup that has not seen a new release in years. Although the announcement trailer provided limited details, fans can expect more insights during the VF Direct livestream, which is scheduled for tomorrow, December 13th.
Introducing Project Century
Alongside the Virtua Fighter announcement, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio introduced Project Century. While specific details remain scarce, the reveal trailer hinted at elements reminiscent of the Like a Dragon series, suggesting an intriguing direction for this new IP. The buzz around this project is palpable, and it holds considerable promise based on the trailer’s initial impressions.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Growing Legacy
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is cementing its reputation as a prolific developer in the gaming industry. Just months away, they are set to launch Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in February, which features fan-favorite Goro Majima. This game follows closely on the heels of the highly acclaimed Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which served as a narrative bridge between the Yakuza and Like a Dragon franchises, providing closure for legacy character Kiryu while introducing new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga.
The Impact of Infinite Wealth
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has been described as Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s equivalent of Metal Gear Solid 4, seamlessly intertwining callbacks and familiar elements for long-time fans while delivering a rich Japanese RPG experience. This title represents a significant evolution for the studio, showcasing their dedication to storytelling and character development.
