How Many Chapters are in Like a Dragon: Ishin?

The Yakuza games are huge, multi-chapter affairs, and spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin is no different. This might leave you wondering how many chapters are in Like a Dragon: Ishin? Well, there are 14 ahead of you, with the final one being an epilogue. However, it is important to note that it does take a few chapters for the game to open up and stop holding your hand.

Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for Like a Dragon: Ishin in the chapters’ names below.

Here’s the full list of how many chapters are in Like a Dragon: Ishin. While you can freely walk around Tosa in chapter 1, it is a rather small space. Also, while chapter 2 does take you to Kyo for the first time, it’s still a bit limited. I found chapter 3 is when the game really starts to let you explore a bit, but it won’t be until chapter 4 that you’ll find the sudden, inexplicable “crowds” of people keeping you from certain locations.
