A Western release for Yakuza: Like a Dragon - known as Ryu Ga Gotoku 7 in Japan - has been teased by a Steam database listing.
You can check out the page over on SteamDB, where the "unknown app" was registered and found. This is especially interesting given that we haven't heard much from Sega recently about the Western release of Like a Dragon, which launched in Japan on January 16, 2020.

We knew that the game was set to be released later in 2020, but nothing about a potential PC release, as it was assumed the game was exclusive to PS4, as it is in Japan.
Of course, we don't have any word on a firm launch window for the game, but historically speaking, titles that get listed on SteamDB usually end up on the Steam store sooner rather than later.
Fans have been waiting for a PC release for the remaining Yakuza games (3 through 6) after Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 launched last year. It looks like we may be getting Like a Dragon first if this listing is anything to go by.
