Oh, my! George Takei voice role announced for Yakuza: Like a Dragon, available this November

It’s time for silly antics as Sega announced that it will bring Yakuza: Like a Dragon to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC this November. While the next gen versions will come at a later date, players can upgrade their current generation versions for free when they get released; in addition, Star Trek actor George Takei has been officially announced to play a role in the English dub of the game.

Kicking off Comic Con @ Home, Sega of America launched pre-orders for Yakuza: Like a Dragon alongside the debut of the game’s new “Heroes of Tomorrow” Trailer, which showcases explosive, dynamic RPG gameplay of protagonist Ichiban Kasuga and his ragtag party. Ever want to see a group of middle-aged “heroes” battle massive construction vehicles, take down thugs with an uppercut from a facial wand, or summon a tempest of pigeons? Yakuza: Like a Dragon has you covered – it’s like no other RPG before it.

Also revealed in today’s announcement is the English voice cast of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which features, among many talented actors, esteemed TV and film actor George Takei. George Takei plays the role of Masumi Arakawa, a powerful patriarch whose dissolution of the Tojo Clan’s yakuza empire sets into motion the conflict at the heart of this complex, winding narrative.

A PlayStation 5 upgrade path is also being planned for the Western release and will be announced at a later date. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also support EFIGS subtitles.
