Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will only be available to play with Japanese audio at launch - with English dub expected later
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will launch with only Japanese voice acting at first, with English dubbing expected to be added after release.
As spotted by @Knoebelbroet on Twitter, it appears the upcoming Yakuza title will not launch with English dubbing. If you head on over to the Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name website and scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll notice that in the small print, the game's supported languages have been revealed.
You can see this for yourself in the tweet below but the website basically reveals that Like a Dragon: Gaiden will support both Japanese and English voice acting but that the latter will be "implemented in a post-launch patch" - although the website doesn't confirm how long we'll be waiting for that. This might not come as too much of a surprise to long-time Yakuza fans, since the majority of the games in the series didn't get an English dub at all.
Below this, it is confirmed that the Like a Dragon title will still support both Japanese and English subtitles as well as Korean, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.

In fact, a Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth demo is on the way - but only with Like a Dragon Gaiden.
