SEGA recently filed a trademark for "Yakuza Wars" in Japan, leading to a wave of speculation among fans of the Like A Dragon franchise, previously known as the Yakuza series. Registered on July 26, the trademark's ambiguous nature spurred multiple fan theories. On Reddit, popular ideas include a crossover between Like A Dragon and Sakura Wars, a potential RTS game, or even a Dynasty Warriors-style Yakuza musou game. Another theory is a mobile game inspired by Yakuza 6's Kiryu Clan battles, integrating gacha mechanics and allowing players to command Kiryu's forces from their phones. However, it remains uncertain if this trademark is directly tied to the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, given their recent shift from using the 'Yakuza' name in their game titles.

What could Yakuza Wars potentially be?n

Yakuza Wars could be a crossover between the Like A Dragon and Sakura Wars franchises, a real-time strategy (RTS) game, or a mobile game focusing on Kiryu Clan battles with gacha mechanics.

The Like A Dragon franchise, formerly known as Yakuza, is renowned for its deep storylines, memorable characters, and mix of action-adventure and RPG elements. The series follows Kazuma Kiryu and other protagonists navigating the criminal underworld of Japan. Sakura Wars, on the other hand, is a long-running strategy RPG series featuring steampunk settings and mech battles.
