A new Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name patch has gone live today, introducing AMD FSR 3 support to the game and more.
Patch 1.20, which is also live for the console versions of the game, introduces support for the latest version of AMD's upscaling technology, which also includes frame generation technology that can be used on all GPUs. The patch also introduces the English voice dub.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a return to the series' roots, doing away with the turn-based combat originally introduced in the seventh main entry in the series. Despite being a spin-off, the game hits all the marks the series is known for, as highlighted by Kai in his review.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a bite-sized appetizer meant to satisfy players' appetites for just a few more months until Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth hits global shores. That being said, Gaiden hits all the marks I want to see in the series: amusing side stories, an epic crime drama that spans multiple games, and all the knuckle shuffles one could ever want. It might not be a mandatory title in the series (save for the pivotal chapter and aftermath) but it offers some explanation as to why Hawaii’s the centerpiece for the next game and just what Kiryu/Joryu was up to before making a guest appearance to mop the floor with Ichiban.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One.
