Throw open the doors and make some cashOne of the better mini-games from the Yakuza series is making its return. Upcoming Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will have a cabaret mini-game (https://twitter.com/RGGStudio/status/1597301578675130368).
The Like a Dragon, n?e Yakuza (https://www.destructoid.com/like-a-dragon-yakuza-new-name-sega-ryu-ga-gotoku-tgs-ishin/), series has had a wealth of minigames over the years. But few are as well-remembered as the cabaret ones. First making an appearance in Yakuza 0 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-yakuza-0/) and then again in Kiwami 2, these sections have you manage a club of hostesses.
Unlocking new hostesses through quests and scouting, while also competing with other clubs, became quite an engrossing side activity. And now it looks like the festivities return for Like a Dragon Gaiden.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (https://www.destructoid.com/like-a-dragon-gaiden-side-story-yakuza-rgg-kiryu-teaser/) follows longtime series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, after the events of Yakuza 6. The Dragon of Dojima stepped down from the spotlight in the sixth entry as Ichiban Kasuga took over in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. (Kiryu did make an appearance in that entry, but didn't star.)
Gaiden looks to bridge the gap a bit, as Like a Dragon 8 (https://www.destructoid.com/like-a-dragon-8-revealed-yakuza-rgg-teaser-trailer/) will have both Ichiban and Kiryu in the lead. And from the looks of it, Kiryu has been going through some stuff.

A year of dragonsIt looks like we've got a decent amount of RGG content on its way, as the studio is also due to release Like a Dragon: Ishin (https://www.destructoid.com/like-a-dragon-ishin-global-launch-february-2023-ps4-ps5/) next February. With Gaiden also set for 2023 and Like a Dragon 8 aiming for 2024, there's a lot of Kiryu in store for the next year or so.
All that said, I'm happy to see the cabaret game returning. It's fondly remembered for a reason, and will hopefully add an extra bit of mini-game oomph to Gaiden. As much as I liked holding meetings in Like a Dragon, I'm ready to manage the club again.
