Today Sega released a large gallery of screenshots and new details about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, focusing on the Sujimon minigame.
Making a return from previous games, the Pokemon-like minigame prompts Ichiban Kasuga to capture and train powerful individuals named Sujimon and fight against other teams in 3 vs. 3 battles.
That's not all, as the minigame has a storyline associated with it, and it lets you unlock the Sujimancer job for Ichiban, allowing him to fight norma, enemies accompanied by his Sujimon.
You can capture Sijimon when you get the chance after a battle. By giving them a gift, they may be recruited.
There are also raids during which you are guaranteed a recruitment opportunity, but they vanish after a while.
You can also use cash or gacha tickets at the Sujimon Gacha Spots around Hawaii to get more Sujimon for your team.
There are five types of Sujimon, each with its strengths and weaknesses. In battle, you can give them commands to boost their morale or perform special attacks.
We also get two Sujimon, the healing-type Freakalele, and heavyweight fighter Dosukoi Gigantes.
You can strengthen your Sujimon by giving them the nutritional drink Sujimunch. You can awaken them by feeding them another of the same species, unlocking their potential, and enhancing their parameters.
By repeatedly awakening the same Sujimon, they may even evolve into a more powerful one.
The Sujimon can also be used in the Dondoko island feature. You can train them at the Dondoko Farm to raise their level, and you can also put them to work, raising crops and earning money for you.
Lastly, pest animals will occasionally attack the Dondoko Farm, and you can use your Sujimon to defeat them,

On top of the details and screenshots, plenty of new gameplay (including Sujimon gameplay) has been revealed via popular VTuber Kson, who plays a part in the game.
Her reaction when she meets her in-game alter-ego Kei is quite precious.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be released on January 26, 2024, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. You can pre-order a physical copy on Amazon.
