As a reminder, some of these AEW and New Japan Pro wrestlers appeared in Yakuza and Like a Dragon games before. Kenny Omega was in Like a Dragon Ishin, as an example. Meanwhile,athletes like Kazuchika Okada and Tetsuya Naito appeared as members of JUSTIS in Yakuza 6.
While there’s obviously no footage from the fight yet, Sega did upload a teaser trailer for the event. It features a number of the wrestlers who will be taking part providing narration over footage from past matches and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
It is unknown if the wrestlers will show up in costumes based on the Yakuza and Like a Dragon series and characters. However, such things have happened before. For example, at New Japan Pro Wrestling Wrestle Kingdom 17, Kenny Omega dressed as Sephiroth.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The AEW Like a Dragon Gaiden Street Fight with wrestlers to promote the Yakuza spin-off will appear during AEW Dynamite on November 15, 2023 on TBS.Â
