Despite the flurry of Like a Dragon (or Yakuza) games that have been recently announced, none of them will be released on Switch.
Indeed, a Switch port of anything Yakuza is unlikely to happen, according to Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama.
Yokoyama made the statement in an interview with GameSpot yesterday and explained why the studio was reluctant to put Yakuza on Switch.
Yokoyama cited the “family-friendly image of the Switch” as the reason why the studio wishes to keep Yakuza off the console. And yes, Kiryu slamming someone’s head in a microwave at a convenience store and asking the employee to “heat this junk up” isn’t exactly wholesome.
