Following some releases by Sega, the publisher has used some direction in its next titles from the player base. In the past, we’ve seen the firm do this for Atlus titles before. Of course, one of the biggest moments was asking for Persona on Xbox back in 2021. Additionally, the firm also used this approach to survey if there is bigger demand for other Atlus titles on Nintendo Switch as well.
Now with more & more excitement surrounding the Like a Dragon franchise, it is expected that Sega is preparing to offer more insight on the future of the series. One of its most surprising moves is Yakuza Kiwami coming to Nintendo Switch. What’s more, the firm is prepared to share its plans for the next game later in September at Tokyo Game Show.
Recently, Sega has published a new survey which was emailed to fans asking if there is any interest in seeing more popular faces in future Like a Dragon titles. There is also a list of celebrities which you can read below:
