Summary
- Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku is working on a brand-new game called Project Century.
- Details are scarce, but we got a good look at the pre-alpha combat and it was revealed that it’s set in 1915 Japan.
Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku just announced a brand-new game at TGA 2024 called Project Century, set in 1915 Japan.
Given that the footage shown was pre-alpha, details are scarce right now and there’s no release date. But we did get a very brief glimpse at the combat in its TGA reveal trailer.
While we don’t know much about Project Century right now, there are some details we can sus out from the trailer. For one, it has real-time combat, rather than turn-based as the new mainline Like a Dragon games have adopted.

Yakuza Fans Deserved Like A Dragon: Tuna
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii started its life as a spin-off where Kiryu was a tuna fisherman.
We see the main character wailing on several opponents in the streets, using weapons like crowbars and objects from their surroundings like a glass jar. It’s far gorier and more brutal than the usual RGG affair, but as far as story details go, all we know right now is the setting.
Infinite Wealth only just launched in January, and RGG teamed up with Amazon for a Yakuza show that released a couple of months ago, and that’s not to mention Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble which released in June. RGG has been busy, to say the least, and it’s far from done, with three upcoming games not factoring in the inevitable Like a Dragon sequel. There’s plenty for RGG fans to look forward to.
