Like A Dragon Gaiden will not be dubbed at launch

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is the highly anticipated return of the Yakuza series with a modern story. The fans of the iconic series from SEGA could enjoy an adventure set in ancient Japan by following the story of Sakamoto Ryoma in Like a Dragon: Ishin!, but the series is now returning to modern times with its upcoming installment. Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will bring back the legendary protagonist of the series, Kazuma Kiryu, in a new epic adventure starring him a totally new role as a special agent codenamed "Joryu".

New weapons, new movements, and a new storyline starring your favorite hero. Is it there anything else you could ask for?

Only in Japanese

Well, it seems that Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be missing a very important feature. According to Yong Yea, the new English voice actor for Kazuma Kiryu, the game won't be dubbed into English at launch and it will only feature subtitles. This may be something you are accustomed to if you have other preferred languages but it will surely be annoying for the fans that expected a total immersion.

Barely three weeks ahead of the release of Like A Dragon Gaiden on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, such an announcement is something that may not come as a surprise for those players who have been fans of the series for a long time. Most of them are probably used to listening to the protagonist speaking in Japanese by this time. In any case, SEGA plans to add the missing feature in a patch after the game is released.
