The game's release is planned for January 26, and it's said to be so extensive that the head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio advised pacing oneself during gameplay to avoid exhaustion.
Fans of the series and newcomers alike can anticipate an intriguing blend of action, storytelling, and the series' signature offbeat humor that will take them on a thrilling journey through this expansive and detailed game world.
