Like A Dragon Gaiden Will Not Include English Dub At Launch

“Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name,” a spin-off from the popular Yakuza series, will initially launch without an English dub.

Kiryu’s new voice actor, Yong Yea, confirmed the news via a tweet, in which he stated that there won’t be an English dub available on release day but will be added later on in a post-release patch, although no release date for the English dub has been mentioned.

Since Like A Dragon: Gaiden is a few weeks away and many may not know about this, thought I should let you know the English dub will not be available on the 11/8 launch date and will release as a post-launch patch (no official date yet). Hope you'll look forward to it! pic.twitter.com/BWJcM5GvNz
