New Minigame in Like a Dragon Gaiden
The studio making the new game "Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name" has picked the winners for a special part of the game called the hostess minigame. In this game, players run a cabaret club and get to interact with different hostesses.
Usually, these characters look like real people, often actors or adult video stars. For the new game, they held auditions to find the right people to be the in-game hostesses. There's also another set of auditions, a "Grand Prix," for the next game called "Like a Dragon 8." In this, the top five from the current auditions will be judged to see who gets to be an in-game hostess in the eighth game. Fans are really hoping that Kson gets picked for this one too.
