The first 10-minute video features cutscene footage outlining the game's main story and introduces the game's main cast. The second seven-minute video introduces the game's five main locations and playable characters, and features battle gameplay footage.
The game will allow players to explore Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Nagoya, and will feature Haruka Sawamura as a playable character. New character Tatsuo Shinada also joins the cast as a playable character as a baseball player saddled with gambling debts. Main character Kazuma Kiryu returns to the game as a taxi driver. Other playable characters include Shun Akiyama and Taiga Saejima.
