Another day, another 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2021 leak. This one concerns Yakuza: Like Aꦫ Dragon and a rumor that it's coming to Xbox Game Pass so💫oner rather than later.

While not confirmed as definite, of course, the Brazillian 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Store seemingly shared premature details of the game on the official store, suggesting the Sega title is heading to Xbox𒐪's subscription service. 

to the leak and allege the news is in line with what they'd been told, too.

Though the information online has since been deleted, natural𒐪ly, screencaps were reportedly taken of the store, showing two DLC packs for the 💞game are available as part of Xbox Game Pass… even though the game itself is not. Yet, anyway.

Chances are we'll find out more later today at Xbox's E3 presentatio🙈n. ꦫJust try to look surprised when the news is shared, okay?

In case you missed it, Yakuza series creator Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has confirmed that the main Yakuza series will be a turn-based RPG going forwards. As part of last month's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lost Judgment reveal, Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa confirmed tꦗhat future entries into the Yakuza series will feature turn-based combat after the success o𝐆f Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

“The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-🀅based RPG🅺. On the other hand, over the year, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has accumulated resources and know-how of making flashy and exhilarating action games that are effortless to enjoy. We decided that we should let our signature action gameplay live on through Lost Judgement,” they said.

As we explained at the time, up until 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Yakuza 6 all of the Yakuza games featured live-action combat, more akin to the usual brawler or fighting game. That all changed with Yakuza: Like A Dragon, which introduced a new protagonist and a new turn-based combat mechanic, too. Hard to believe it's all because of an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:April Fools joke back in 2019, eh?

"Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a confident step in a different direction for Ryu Ga Gotoku’s series," we said in GamesRadar+'s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Yakuza: Like a Dragon review. "An impactful combat system filled with whacky abilities stands tall against the action-based formula RGG💟 perfected over nearly two decades, and newcomer Ichiban Kasuga and his friends come together as an excellent cast to leave a lasting impression. 

"Like a Drag꧅on might fall into genre traps of a prolonged main scenario and pretty lacklustre dungeon design, but the ever-charming side stories maintain that perfect Yakuza combination of funny and meaningful."

Here are our picks of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Xbox Game Pass games.
