Today, SEGA and RGG Studio published a new trailer showcasing the story in the highly anticipated samurai epic Like a Dragon: Ishin! which will launch globally on February 21, 2023, on Xbox One/Series X, PlayStation 4/5 and PC. First announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show 2022, this is the missing chapter in the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s samurai epic series and it’s finally coming to the west.

In 1860s Kyo, a solemn samurai’s fight for justice stands to change the course of Japan’s history forever. Draw your blade and join the revolution in this heated historical adventure. Today’s new Blade of Vengeance trailer explores the game’s story, sharing a glimpse at the treacherous road ahead for protagonist Sakamoto Ryoma, after being framed for the murder of his mentor. With a journey full of friends and foes, high-action combat and more, this solemn samurai’s fight for justice challenges the course of Japan’s history.


Like a Dragon: Ishin! Key Features:

  • Over the top action and diverse weaponry: Engage in visceral combat that combines feudal-era firearms and swords as players switch between four different combat styles: Swordsman, Gunman, Wild Dancer and Brawler. A deep roster of varied weaponry marks the historic transition between classic sword fighting and modern armed warfare as players train and upgrade skills to unlock even more powerful abilities.
  • Historical samurai epic: An optional in-game glossary supplements context to the historical basis of the people, places, and events featured within Like a Dragon: Ishin! 
  • Old meets new: Like a Dragon: Ishin! expands upon its 2014 Japan-exclusive predecessor with localisation support, all-new content, exquisitely remastered graphics and enhanced capabilities for modern platforms in Unreal Engine 4.


Players who pre-order the physical edition of the game will receive three additional exclusive weapons to help trailblaze the road to revolution: the Kijinmaru Kunishige, Bloody Sheen and Black Ship Cannon.
