It not only serves as a standalone game but also acts as a link between Yakuza 6, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, providing insight into Kiryu Kazuma's perspective throughout the events of these three Like a Dragon games.

The video begins with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio director, Masayoshi Yokoyama, summarizing some key elements that fans have already learned about the game. Yokoyama then takes the opportunity to unveil several new videos showcasing fresh storylines and gameplay features. These include Kiryu's new Agent and Yakuza fighting styles, the hostesses of Gaiden's Cabaret Club, and Karaoke mini-games. After highlighting the exciting gameplay features of Gaiden, a special cutscene is presented.

The video showcases a brief scene from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where Kasuga Ichiban finds himself in handcuffs while in Hawaii. To his surprise, Kiryu sets him free. Additionally, the video announces a "Special Trial" for Infinite Wealth, which can be downloaded upon purchasing Like a Dragon Gaiden.

Yokoyama mentions that fans may be surprised to know that a demo of Infinite Wealth will be included with Like a Dragon Gaiden. He further explains that this demo will feature exclusive content not found in the main game, which can be accessed after completing Gaiden. Yokoyama also reveals that Gaiden will have hands-on demos at various gaming industry events such as Gamescom, Pax West, and Tokyo Game Show throughout the year.

The showcased trailers provide a comprehensive glimpse into the spin-off's storyline, gameplay, and the connections between Gaiden and Infinite Wealth.
