About “Yakuza Blocks: Like a Dragon”
Roam Kamurocho Freely — The Series’ Iconic District, Rebuilt on Roblox
The game rebuilds Kamurocho, the entertainment district at the heart of the Yakuza & Like a Dragon Series, on Roblox as a map that players can explore freely. At launch, players can explore the area around Tenkaichi Street, from its back alleys to its main avenues, and take in the streets that series fans know so well. We will continue to expand the explorable area based on player feedback and how the game is being played.
Signature Series Combat — A Progression-Based Battle System for Building Your Own Character
At the core of the gameplay is real-time action combat based on the brawling the Yakuza & Like a Dragon Series is known for. Players take on enemies they run into on the streets, using signature Like a Dragon moves such as Heat Actions*1. The game also features a character progression system in which players allocate points earned in battle across three categories: “Mind,” “Technique” and “Body.” Mind affects the experience points and rewards players can earn, Technique affects combat ability and the Heat gauge, and Body boosts basic physical abilities, among other effects. Players can choose from multiple battle styles, and each style’s unique moves evolve as their character grows, so the more they play, the more there is to discover.
*1 Heat Actions: A variety of special moves performed using the Heat Gauge, which fills up as players land attacks on enemies.
Explore Kamurocho Together — Roblox-Style Fun and a Wide Range of Content
The game offers the kind of fun only multiplayer can provide, letting players team up with others online or explore Kamurocho with friends. While staying true to the world of Like a Dragon, it adds unique, Roblox-style touches to elements such as street signs and equippable items, giving the game a charm all its own. It also includes minigames, one of the series’ hallmarks, and more minigames and content will be added over time to expand the ways to play.
About Like a Dragon
Launched in 2005 under the concept of “entertainment for adults,” Like a Dragon depicts the lives of passionate men in a sprawling entertainment district, through stories of love, compassion and betrayal. Portraying a realistic, modern Japan in a way no game had dared to before, the series has sold more than 27.7 million units/downloads (full games combined).

GeekOut’s Value and Outlook
GeekOut works with development studios in Japan and overseas to bring official IP content to Roblox, an immersive gaming and creation platform that offers people millions of ways to be together, which draws 123 million daily active users on average.
Managing Japan’s celebrated IP, from games to anime and manga, requires an operational structure that guarantees strict quality control and authenticity. On the ground, the top priorities are securing enough management resources and moving content production forward based on a deep understanding of each work.
Developing a Roblox title calls for an interactive process: building the game around feedback gathered through ongoing communication with players, and growing the community together with them. For an official IP title on Roblox to succeed, it is essential to adapt conventional business practices and development processes to Roblox’s unique, user-created games.
With extensive know-how and a proven track record in this field, GeekOut is leading the market as Japan’s foremost official publisher.
Making Japan’s celebrated IP accessible to people around the world through one of the world’s largest gaming platforms is also key to advancing Japan’s creator economy.
GeekOut will continue to strengthen its publishing so that even more IP can come to Roblox and win recognition there, helping to maximize the value of each IP.

The game is developed by a seasoned team of Roblox-native creators. GeekOut Studio brings together 20 developers and its members have worked on titles that have drawn more than 5.5 billion visits*2. The team covers a wide range of disciplines in-house, including 2D/3D art, game design, engineering, UI/UX, data analytics, monetization design and marketing. Drawing on its expertise, its members’ track records and their shared passion for IP, the team will turn the world of Like a Dragon into an experience only Roblox can offer: built by the Community, for the Community.
