This is just what I personally feel, so it has nothing to do with the studio\u2019s actual plans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ito obviously has some influence as technical director of RGG Studio but it&#8217;s unclear if fans&#8217; hopes for an upgraded engine will emerge anytime soon. The Dragon Engine has so far been used to create Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, Yakuza Kiwami 2, First of the North Star: Lost Paradise, Judgement, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Lost Judgement, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-release-date-brought-forward-a-week-to-avoid-monster-hunter-wilds-clash\">the upcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RGG Studio is known for its prompt releases, and this list is somehow just a fraction of its overall output as in the same time it&#8217;s also released Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 Remastered, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, Judgement Remastered, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.<\/p>\n<p>But releasing so many games has some drawbacks, as while each Yakuza game has reviewed well, fans have complained about animations and assets that get reused over multiple entries. It&#8217;s for reasons such as these that fans are eager for a new engine, not to mention the technological leap that would potentially come with leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation behind.<\/p>\n<p>Ito added to this somewhat, saying that while RGG Studio has found ways to squeeze more life out of the Dragon Engine with each entry, it&#8217;s also being held back by keeping its games on the previous console generation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would like to avoid limiting ourselves because of performance as much as possible, but not everyone plays the Like a Dragon series on higher-end consoles, so we would like to figure out a future plan on this at some point,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>This again stops short of confirming a new engine being in development at RGG Studio, and as mentioned it&#8217;s already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/majima-focused-like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-announced-at-rgg-summit-as-next-yakuza-game\">revealed its next game as Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii<\/a> as another Dragon Engine entry.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a spin-off, however, leaving fans with a little hope that the next mainline game, Like a Dragon 9, will perhaps make that technological jump. RGG Studio head <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/yakuza-dragon-engine-unreal-engine-5-masayoshi-yokoyama\">Masayoshi Yokoyama even said in 2022 that the Dragon Engine is &#8220;a bit old.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
