Like a Dragon players received a survey form to state their preference for the next celebrity cameo.

Like a Dragon or Yakuza games are some of the widely popular action RPGs that players willingly wait for. Therefore, naturally, SEGA doesn’t want players to lose interest in these games, and as a consequence, it has come up with a unique strategy. It has started a survey for celebrity cameo options, featuring Snoop Dogg, The Rock, Keanu Reeves, etc.

A few days ago, a Reddit user named JohnConquest posted about a survey email he received from SEGA asking him a few questions about Like a Dragon. Additionally, it asked him to share his feelings about celebrity cameos and whether players liked the idea of main characters being voiced by celebrities. 

He mentioned that in that mail, a list was attached where multiple celebrities were mentioned, starting from footballer Lionel Messi to Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, Shohei Ohtani, and multiple others.

Alongside them, it has Reeves, Hamill, Jack Black, Rami Malek, and David Hayter. The list has several other names that players need to rate to let the developer know their opinion about the upcoming cameo.

The list SEGA has provided players with is extensive, with loads of names, and most importantly, it contains big names from every profession. From footballers to pop singers to baseball players, there are some personalities from every side. 

The Like a Dragon series is not at all alien to celebrity cameos and players are familiar with getting renowned personalities in the game. Therefore, as the list appeared, they jumped into expressing which celebrity cameos they had been waiting for.

Some players even want to get American actor and comedian Jack Black in the Like a Dragon series.

Though a lot of players have been taking a lot of names, there are still people who don’t want any of these celebrities. 

This is indeed a big question: who will appear in the next Like a Dragon game? But the answer won’t be clear unless a teaser is released.
