The one footage featured on the panel was the identical gameplay of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Identify that was showcased on the RGG Summit a number of weeks in the past, we get to see YouTuber and Vtuber Kson in her position for the sport. Because the winner of the audition held over the previous few months by Sega, she is going to play a live-action position within the sport.
You possibly can see some photographs from the sport and her look within the image beneath. She’s going to play a hostess at a “Cabaret Membership” alongside the opposite finalists of the audition.

It is a standard trope in video games, anime, and much more so TV reveals and flicks, and it will definitely be fascinating to see Kson in that position.
