RGG Studio Launches Like a Dragon 20th Anniversary Merchandise Fan Vote
RGG Studio is celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Like a Dragon (LAD) series with a unique fan-driven merchandise project. Until March 21, 2025, fans can vote for their favorite in-game items to be recreated as real-world merchandise.
The selection includes over 100 items, ranging from lingerie and incense to mahjong tiles, karaoke microphones, and even Kiryu's iconic dragon mask. The winning item, as determined by fan votes, is guaranteed to be produced and released within the next two years. Voting is limited to one vote per day. Following the voting period, a separate survey will gather input on the design of the winning merchandise.
Like a Dragon's 20th Anniversary: Remakes on the Horizon?
The 20th anniversary celebration, culminating in December 2025, was initially announced on December 8, 2024, during the series' 19th anniversary. RGG Studio Director and Executive Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama expressed gratitude to fans and hinted at various events and announcements leading up to the milestone. The merchandise vote is the first of these initiatives.
The upcoming release of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on February 20, 2025, marks the official start of the anniversary celebrations. While further details remain scarce, the studio's previous 10th-anniversary celebration, which included the announcement of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami remakes, fuels speculation of similar announcements for the 20th anniversary.
