Although it is very obvious that he is naked, he himself is amusingly oblivious to his own nudity. The area he is in is very unfamiliar to him, until he startles a nearby beach goer, shrieking that he is a streaker, with a number of the other locals laughing at his current situation. It takes until a couple is able to bring to his attention that he doesn’t have any clothes on that he properly panics. The Japanese trailer retains its original “Like a Dragon 8” title.
Thesetting ofLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthcaught many fans' attention, where Ichiban is unable to understand anyone that’s talking to him, and the first character to speak is a blonde woman in perfect English, alongside a number of other English-speaking locals. Based on that alone, it seems that Ichiban has ended up in America, and based on the environment and foliage, it’s likely that he ended up in the state of Hawaii. As theorized by one fan, this setting is likely because Hawaii and Japan have strong economic and cultural ties, similar to howPersona 5featured a vacation in the Western state.
Aside from this teaser trailer, the official website for the game also went live, where some additional screenshots can be spotted. The first consists of the party of Ichiban, Nanba, and Adachi, while the second one shows the lovable protagonist hanging out with Kazuma Kiryu. With theRGG Summit 2023around the corner, fans should expect more information about bothGaidenandInfinite Wealthto be present at the event.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealthwill release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in early 2024.
