It is (almost) already the case tbh.

Considering how Ryu Ga Gotoku can recycle assets it's fesable for them.

But do I want Like a Dragon titles every year? Personally, I don't.

Already a thread on this here

Rumor - Midori: The current plan at Sega is to make Like a Dragon, Persona and Sonic annual franchises through new titles, remakes, remasters, DLC expansions

Tagging this post as rumor, but do keep in mind that Midori's track record with SEGA & Atlus leaks has been spotless so far. More deets:

Person 5 already an annual franchise……

 

[BaldingAshCrimson]

This is the opposite of exciting for me, but whatever...

Like Nankatsu said, it will be easy for LAD, since 70% of those games is asset re-use. They do it well, don't get me wrong. It genuinely doesn't bother me.

But yeah, you can take my favorite game series ever, like Bayonetta for example, and say "You will get one every year now!", and that will ALWAYS be disappointing to me.

I went to the wiki to check because I thought it was done already, but no, Persona 5: The Phantom X...

Persona of Madden Duty?

Honestly, I lost count of all the Persona 5 editions. I only own the Switch every time I looked to maybe jump in I get confused which version to play. When I ask people they give varying different versions to start.

Everyone: Persona 2 remake!!
Atlus: Persona 5 remake

A Yakuza every year? No thanks. The story for IW was a mess and that had plenty of time.

Same. I love the games but they’re all 50+ hour adventures and I just straight up don’t have the time.

 

[lh032]

so we will have normal edition and 2 years later "special" edition of each IP now lolz

 

[Kssio_Aug]

What a great plan!

I adore Yakuza/Like a Dragon but I cannot handle yearly releases.

They just release three games in a 12 month period with Ishin! Remake, Gaiden and Infinite Wealth. Every time I get closer to being caught up on this series they release several more. Two steps forward and three steps back. And Yakuza burnout is real, they need to be careful about this.

I wouldn't mind Kiwami 3 though, sounds like that is on the roadmap

The Yakuza/LAD series died when Toshihiro Nagoshi left. To clarify, i'm fine with the turn-based combat, but the story in Gaiden was lame, combat was worse, and I'm still butthurt having Darryl Kurlyo replaced by an annoying youtuber.
I'll definitely take more SMT games though.

Yeah, it’s a lot of games that’s for sure. I still haven’t gotten to Gaiden and Infinite Wealth, lol.

And I agree on Kiwami 3. I know a lot of folks are not a fan of Yakuza 3, but it’s one of my favorite games in the series personally.
