Details on what exactly the series' next instalment will be are currently scant, however.
"In order to develop Like a Dragon, the Dragon Engine is something that must never be lost," says technical director Yutaka Ita.
With Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth less than a month away from launch, RGG Studio has another major announcement lined up for this year.
Sega COO Shuji Utsumi talks about the success seen by the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, and what it could mean for its other franchises.
RGG Studio boss Masayoshi Yokoyama says that the series is no longer focused on the Yakuza, which is why its Western name has changed.
