The latest Yakuza spin-off, Like A Dragon Gaiden, has just landed but before you dive into this new adventure you may be curious to know if the game is getting a physical release or not. Here’s everything we know.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is the newest installment in the beloved Yakuza franchise. This spin-off has players stepping back into the shoes of the franchise’s long-time protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, who was replaced by newcomer Ichiban Kasuga in Yakuza 7: Like A Dragon.

Fans can expect all the charm of the mainline games in this spin-off including a return to the action-packed beat ’em-up combat that was switched out for a more traditional turn-based system in the last main title. There’s also bound to be plenty of fun side activities and a compelling narrative to enjoy but you might be wondering if the game is getting a physical release.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about a potential physical release for Like A Dragon Gaiden.
