The Like a Dragon–formerly known as Yakuza–series games have had no shortage of star power over the years, and for the upcoming remake of Like a Dragon: Ishin there’ll be cameos from former AEW world champion Kenny Omega and The Haunting of Bly Manor’s Rahul Kohli. Omega and Kohli will join the game in the form of Trooper Cards that can be wielded by protagonist Sakamoto Ryoma, a combat feature that grants temporary but devastating power-ups and special abilities when activated in battle.
Omega and Kohli will provide “peerless” strength when they appear as Shinsengumi officers, according to Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, and they’ll be two of the six special guests who join Ryoma’s revolution in Ishin. All special guest Trooper Cards will be available worldwide as free downloadable content starting early access on February 17, and each one will have unique abilities.
