Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has confirmed that it is working on a sequel to Yakuza: Like A Dragon and a new IP.
Following an earlier leak, Sony announced on Wednesday that August’s PlayStation Plus games will be Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (PS5/PS4), Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5/PS4) and Little Nightmares (PS4) .
All three games will be available for subscribers to claim from August 2nd to September 6th.
PlayStation Plus games from July can still be claimed until August 1st. They are Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS5/PS4), The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (PS4) and Arcadegeddon (PS5/PS4).
