New details have leaked for Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, the latest game from RGG Studio.
RGG Studio, as you may remember, made the choice very recently to rebrand their Ryu Ga Gotoku video game series in the West. Initially, they had released the games under the generic Yakuza title.

As a tracker they may not have necessarily intended to leak information.
