The English dub for Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be available in a post-launch update according to the game’s official website. Yong Yea, the English voice actor for Kazuma Kiryu, corroborated the disclaimer on Twitter.
Kazuma Kiryu becomes a Daidoji Faction agent after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. In a story told before the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Kiryu must adapt to his new life away from his family while dealing with the criminal underworld. Kiryu will experience more hardship in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and fans will need to wait a little bit longer after release to experience the game’s English dub.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name English Dub Update
The English dub for Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will not be available on launch day, so fans must wait for a post-launch update. A release date has not been announced for the update, but Yong Yea hopes fans look forward to it all the same. English text/subtitles will still be available at launch. Although Yong Yea is unable to elaborate on the status of the English dub for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, he notes that the Steam page suggests a simultaneous release for the English and Japanese dub on launch day.
Since Like A Dragon: Gaiden is a few weeks away and many may not know about this, thought I should let you know the English dub will not be available on the 11/8 launch date and will release as a post-launch patch (no official date yet). Hope you'll look forward to it! pic.twitter.com/BWJcM5GvNz
