Like A Dragon Kicks Off 20th Anniversary Merchandise Special Voting Project

RGG Studio Launches Like a Dragon 20th Anniversary Merchandise Vote

RGG Studio is celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Like a Dragon (LAD) series with a fan vote to determine which in-game items will be made into real-world merchandise. The vote, running from February 8th to March 21st, 2025, allows fans one vote per day from a selection of 100 items. These items range from the whimsical (lingerie, incense, themed pillows) to the iconic (Kiryu's dragon mask, a karaoke microphone), reflecting the series' rich history. The winning item is guaranteed to be produced and released within two years. A subsequent survey will determine the final design.

The announcement included the upcoming release of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on February 20th, 2025, and the merchandise voting project.
