Don’t forget to actually complete the main quest

Sega and Team Yakuza have released a new, near-five-minute gameplay trailer for their upcoming action RPGYakuza: Like a Dragon. The Japanese video features a cross-section of gameplay, demonstrating what is looking to be a very varied adventure title.

In the trailer, we see new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga – accompanied by his party of strange and unlikely allies – explore the city, go gambling, do a spot of shopping, take an exam, hang out at hostess bars, play some darts, get booed at a press conference, indulge in some go-karting, play piano… Oh, and smash the heads of numerous thugs and troublemakers.

While theYakuzaseries has long been known for its quirky sense of humor and myriad of distractions and side-quests,Like a Dragonis seemingly looking to raise the bar on both the fun and weirdness factors. Throw in an all-new tactical combat system, fresh cityscapes, and lots of new characters to befriend or beat-up, and it seems the series is set to maintain its charisma and magnetism, even without the snakeskin shoes of Kazuma Kiryu.

Yakuza: Like a Dragonlaunches on PS4 in Japan January 16, and will head west sometime in 2020.
