Like A Dragon: Ishin Gets Launch-Day Discount
Following a four-day early access period for those who purchased the Digital Deluxe edition, Like a Dragon: Ishin is available to everyone starting today. If the positive reviews have you itching to play Ishin, you may be happy to learn that you can save on Steam keys for both the standard and Digital Deluxe editions at Fanatical.
The standard edition is on sale for $52.79 (down from $60), and the Digital Deluxe edition is $61.59 (down from $70). Both editions come with a 5% off voucher for your next purchase.
It also appears that you can still get the preorder bonuses--though we'd expect this offer to expire soon. The in-game bonus pack contains three weapons: the Kijinmaru Kunishige, the Tsuyano Usukurenai, and the Black Ship Cannon. Considering the game is listed at full price on Steam this is a solid deal.
The Digital Deluxe edition of Ishin also comes with the following in-game goodies:
