Like a Dragon: Ishin! Combat Demo Now Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S & PC

Publisher Sega and developer RGG Studio have announced that a combat demo for their upcoming action-adventure Like a Dragon: Ishin! is now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Specifics regarding its contents have not been stated, but it will certainly not have carry-over save data to the full experience, as it appears to simply be a brief appetizer of the battle system, specifically.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the missing chapter of the series and is finally coming west. Set in 1860’s 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.

Gameplay includes over-the-top action with access to a handful of weaponry and combat styles, including Swordsman, Gunman, Wild Dancer, and Brawler. An optional in-game glossary supplements context to the historical basis of the people, places, and events featured within Like a Dragon: Ishin! Further, this entry aims to expand upon its 2014 Japan-exclusive predecessor with localization support, all-new content, exquisitely remastered graphics, and enhanced capabilities for modern platforms in Unreal Engine 4.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is launching for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on February 21, 2023.
