AEW superstar Kenny Omega is set to play a small part in RGG Studio's upcoming game Like a Dragon: Ishin when it launches next month. Specifically, Omega will be appearing as a"Trooper Card" in the game, which will allow players to unleash an attack that has ties to Omega's in-ring persona.
That sort of gave birth to the opportunity, while I was in Japan, to tour the facilities, to tour Sega HQ, and just kind of one thing led to another, which led to another, which led to another. I kind of stuck my toes in the Yakuza waters and now I'm knee-deep in the RGG Universe, which is very cool because one little video later and now we received an offer to become a Trooper Card in the game.
They kind of showed the idea for the power of the card and I loved the idea of it. And for me, the most important thing was, look, I don't expect everyone on the planet earth to know what professional wrestling is. I definitely don't expect people to know who I am. That's an insane expectation to have.
prevnext Working With Wrestling Fans CB: Previous games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series have made it clear that those at RGG Studio are huge fans of professional wrestling. I assume on their end it was just as cool for them to collaborate with you as it was for you to collaborate with them. Did you get that feeling from them and were they kind of having fan moments when working with you?
KO: Absolutely. I mean, I'd said this before to other people, but I feel like as a professional wrestler, I would always hope that at some point in time via videotape, DVD, or something streaming, perhaps I would love for my matches at some point, way past my time, for people to be able to digest them and to take some kind of pleasure and watch them. To laugh, to cry, to get angry, or whatever it is.
