A new trailer for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has dropped that reveals an additional life-sim mode called DonDoko Island. On this fully customisable space away from the main game, you can create and manage your own island resort very much like an Animal Crossing game. You can see all of this in action via the trailer which you can watch below:
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth releases on January 26th 2024 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The game is being developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
Compile Heart have revealed they are in the early stages of developing a new Madō Monogatari game in collaboration with SEGA.
The Madō Monogatari series has been a Japan exclusive line of dungeon crawler RPGs that feature characters that would later appear in the Puyo Puyo franchise. Games in the series have appeared on MSX, Game Gear, Mega Drive, SNES and SEGA Saturn.
As the game is currently in early development it is not clear when it will release and what platforms are being targeted. There is also no word on whether the game will see a Western release at this time.
Famed Shining Force and Landstalker character designer Yoshitaka Tamaki has died aged 55 after battling lung cancer.
Tamaki actually passed back in July, but his family have only just made the news of his death public after a private mourning period.
Tamaki’s character design credits are featured in Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Shining Soul 1&2, Feda Remake: The Emblem of Justice, Time Stalkers, Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon and Shining Force Neo.
SEGADriven would like to send our condolences to Tamaki’s friends, family and colleagues. He leaves a legacy that will never be forgotten.
In a sad and disappointing decision by SEGASammy, it has come to light that The Creative Assembly’s upcoming looter-shooter Hyenas has been cancelled in what is being described as a “response to the lower profitability of the European region“.
Hyenas was first announced back in June 2022. The game had only been recently made playable on PC in a closed beta that started on August 31st 2023. The game was due to feature some interesting SEGA fan service, with a character that cosplayed as Sonic the Hedgehog and a hacking device that looked like a Mega Drive.
SEGADriven would like to send our condolences to The Creative Assembly as it must be extremely deflating to learn all your hard work has gone to waste. We hope the team have more success with future developments.
