Sega filed a new trademark under the Yakuza Wars title. The company filed the trademark on July 26, 2024, and it appeared on the Chizai Watch database on August 5, 2024 at 8am JST (August 7 at 4pm pT/7pm ET.)
The name for this new trademark could give a hint to the development of a sequel or a new spin-off title in the Like a Dragon series, which was previously known as Yakuza outside of Japan. However, given the recent attempts of Sega to rebrand the series to the Like a Dragon original Japanese name, it is unclear what the new Yakuza Wars trademark will end up becoming.
As a reminder, Sega and RGG Studio announced in early April 2024 that the developers are now holding auditions to find actors and actresses for a new Like a Dragon game. In addition, series producer Masayoshi Yokoyama confirmed that this new game will not be a Yakuza Kiwami 3 remake.
More information about the new Yakuza Wars trademark will appear in the future. The most recent Yakuza game is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth which released earlier on January 25, 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
