As games continue to grow in size and scale, it’s not uncommon to hear about AAA games that have been in development for five years or more. This seems a far cry from the situation with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. In an interview with Automaton, RGG Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama revealed how long the game has been in development, and simply put, it’s a surprisingly short period of time. Specifically, Yokoyama said “it took us about half a year to complete it. As for why the timeline is so short, the game was originally planned to be a DLC for Like a Dragon 8, but the team decided to flesh it out and feature Kiryu in its own title The latest chapter in Kazuma’s story. “We could have told Kiryu’s past in a 30-minute interlude as part of Like a Dragon 8, but we thought it would be more interesting as a standalone game, and that’s what this project is about The origin of. While that meant making a complete game, it still used the same engine, so we thought “it’s not like we have to make it from scratch.” Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will launch on PC and consoles on November 8th.
