Like a Dragon: Ishin! is slicing its way onto consoles and PC today, to much acclaim. Performers in the west may now enjoy a replica of this ensemble work set in 1860s Kyoto, which was first presented by Japanese players in 2014. What gamers did not anticipate, however, is to have to make recurring purchases to experience new playthroughs with the DLC.

A Reddit user shared a picture of a message from Sega support in which they were informed that the four available DLCs for Like a Dragon: Ishin! could not be reapplied or transferred to another system or save file once used. According to the developer, the Ryoma Growth Support Kit, Sword Upgrade Material Kit, Gun Upgrade Material Kit, and Third Division Armament Expansion Kit must all be acquired again for usage in subsequent playthroughs.

The DLCs can only be claimed once btw, so if you decided to play with a clean save, you need to buy them again. from yakuzagames

The majority of gamers are not pleased with this information. While the DLC in issue is not essential to play the game, consumers appear to be tired of unscrupulous techniques when it comes to acquiring more material. Most DLC, according to fans, should only have to be paid once in order to be available to gamers indefinitely. With no remedy or more clarification from the corporation, the best suggestion for the time being is to avoid having to create a fresh game save file unless you don’t mind the DLC in many playthroughs.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is now available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as PS4 and Xbox One. Apart from the DLC drama, the game is an absolutely enjoyable experience for Yakuza aficionados.
