Substories in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
While progressing through story chapters in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Kiryu may accept jobs from Akame, including substories. Substories offer a wealth of side content and surprise encounters. Specifically, Kiryu may run into familiar faces and characters from previous RGG Studio titles. Kaito appears to be one of those characters who seemingly recognizes Kiryu right away.
The latest details and screenshots are available below, via SEGA and Gematsu:
Through certain circumstances, Kazuma Kiryu ends up offering his services to the jack-of-all-trades Akame. Akame has a multitude of interesting and varied jobs that she’ll assign to Kiryu, allowing players to enjoy unique adventures outside of the main story.
While completing these requests, you’ll sometimes run into familiar faces or surprising encounters.
—Kiryu is not supposed to let anyone know his true identity, but finds himself in a pinch when he runs into an old companion…
—After receiving a request from Akame, Kiryu runs into a man who says he is from Kamurocho…!?
Lastly, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name launches digitally on November 9 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game will be available on day one with Xbox Game Pass.
