Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) Studio is giving fans a voice in shaping the commemoration of the Like a Dragon (LAD) franchise's 20th anniversary, slated for December 2025. A unique fan-voting project allows players to select their favorite in-game items to be transformed into real-world merchandise.

Merchandise Voting: A Chance to Influence the Celebration
One hundred iconic items are up for grabs, ranging from lingerie and incense to mahjong tiles, karaoke microphones, and even Kiryu's signature dragon mask. The winning item, chosen through daily votes (one vote per day) from February 8th to March 21st, 2025, is guaranteed to be produced and released within two years. A subsequent survey will determine the final design of the winning merchandise.
Anticipation Builds for the 20th Anniversary Festivities
RGG Studio initially hinted at grand 20th-anniversary plans in a December 8th, 2024, Twitter (X) post. Director and Executive Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama expressed gratitude to fans and promised various events and announcements leading up to the milestone. The merchandise voting project is the first step in this exciting journey. While details remain scarce, the studio's 10th-anniversary celebration, which included the release of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami remakes, fuels speculation about potential remakes or other major reveals for the 20th anniversary.
