🐉 Gang of Dragon — A Cinematic Action-Adventure Set in Tokyo’s Underworld

One of the most electrifying reveals of 2025 is here: Gang of Dragon, a new action-adventure masterpiece from legendary game creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mind behind the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series. This title promises to be a gritty, emotional, and action-packed journey through the neon-soaked streets of Shinjuku, with a heavy focus on realistic drama and brutal combat.

Starring the globally acclaimed Korean actor Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee), Gang of Dragon blends cinematic storytelling with explosive gameplay to deliver what could become Nagoshi’s next big franchise.


🌃 A Story Set in the Heart of Shinjuku — Including Iconic Kabukicho

Gang of Dragon takes place across multiple districts of Shinjuku, Tokyo, with particular emphasis on Kabukicho, one of Japan’s largest and most infamous entertainment hubs. Known for its nightlife, neon signs, and labyrinth of alleyways, Kabukicho provides the perfect backdrop for a crime-driven human drama.

⭐ The Protagonist: Shin Ji-seong

Portrayed by Ma Dong-seok, Shin Ji-seong is a high-ranking member of a Korean crime syndicate operating in Kabukicho. His massive presence, emotional depth, and raw fighting style bring a unique identity to the game.

🎭 Themes of Violence, Loyalty & Purpose

As Shin navigates Shinjuku, he becomes entangled in:

  • Underworld rivalries
  • Hidden betrayals
  • Unexpected human bonds
  • Moral crossroads that shape his path

The narrative promises heated, grounded, and emotional storytelling — a signature of Nagoshi’s works.


🥊 Combat: Brutal, Impactful & Cinematic

Gang of Dragon features third-person combat emphasizing Shin’s overwhelming physical strength. Inspired by Ma Dong-seok’s iconic action roles, the game integrates:

💥 Combat Features:

  • Bone-crushing melee strikes powered by Shin’s raw strength
  • Precise blade attacks for fast and deadly confrontations
  • Gunplay that adds intensity and tactical depth
  • High-speed vehicle action across Shinjuku’s streets

The game aims to blend realism with stylized impact — every punch, throw, and slash is designed to feel weighty and meaningful.

Players will roam a detailed recreation of Shinjuku, including:

  • Kabukicho’s nightlife corridors
  • Rooftops overlooking neon signs
  • Hidden alleys where syndicates operate
  • Crowded intersections full of urban energy

As Shin, you will meet characters who challenge, betray, help, or transform you. Choices appear organically through interactions — not just cutscenes — making the player’s journey deeply personal.
