Staff at the Yakuza studio have completed every Kiryu🍌-led game i✅n a single 170-hour stream.

Last week, on May 17, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio kicked off the mammoth task of completing every mainline Kiryu-led Yakuza game back-to-back in the sa🐽me continuous stream. Approximately one week later, staff at the Yakuza developer have pulled off the astonishing feat in around 170 hours total.

That means Yakuza developers played through Yakuza 0 through 6, without🐬 stopping, for 170 hours. The studio had a rotating cast of hosts and people to play through the mainline Yakuza games, but this is still a pretty astounding feat of perseverance, and putting on a great show for the studio's followers.

It's surprising, but all the mainline Yakuza games before Like a Dragon can be beaten in just 170 hours. Yakuza 5 is obviously by far and away the longest game with five protagonists, and Yakuza 0 is pretty lengthy at around 30 hours, but outside of these two, basically every other Kiryu🍰-l﷽ed mainline game can be completed in roughly 20 hours if you're reasonably quick about it.

On the star-studded guest list for the monumental livestream was none othe💙r than Takaya Kuroda, the iconic voice behind Kazuma Kiryu. The actor even graced (if that's the right word for it) viewers with an impression of Goro Majima, the Mad Dog of Shimano, and it was truly a speculator thing to behold.

Making a slightly more normal appearance was Hidenari Ugaki, who is the voice behind Goro Majima. In the clip below from the livestream, it's Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama, not Ugaki, who lets slip that Majima will be back in some form for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Like a Dragon 8 (great news if you've been missing the Mad Dog from rec🌠ent m👍ainline Yakuza entries).

Majima isn't the only one making a grand return in the next mainline Yakuza game: it was recently revealed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kiꦓryu will have a bigger role in Like ꧋a Dragon 8 than he did i📖n Yakuza: Like a Dragon, no doubt good news for fans of Kuroda.
