Global action star Don Lee is set to captivate gamers worldwide as he takes on the lead role in the upcoming action game, 'GANG OF DRAGON.'

The teaser trailer for the new title, developed by Nagoshi Studio led by acclaimed game creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, was unveiled for the first time at The Game Awards 2025 on December 12th (US time).

'GANG OF DRAGON' is an action-adventure game set in the vibrant Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Don Lee will portray Shin Ji-seong, a high-ranking executive of a Korean-Japanese mafia organization, promising an impactful performance.

According to Nagoshi Studio, Shin Ji-seong is a character who utilizes his overwhelming physique to engage in dynamic combat, wielding bare-handed skills, knives, and firearms. This role is expected to showcase Don Lee's signature robust action sequences.

The game will also feature exhilarating gameplay, including high-speed car chases through the bustling and lively streets of Shinjuku.

Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mastermind behind the renowned 'Yakuza' game franchise, is serving as the scenario writer and executive director for 'GANG OF DRAGON.' Known for crafting numerous compelling human dramas in his previous works, Nagoshi aims to deliver his unique emotional depth and captivating characters once again.

Reflecting on the teaser reveal, Nagoshi stated, "I am filled with a mix of relief and excitement to finally present 'GANG OF DRAGON' to everyone. This work fearlessly confronts and depicts the lives of outcasts living in the actual, existing street of 'Kabukicho.' My entire studio is pouring all our efforts into developing this game to convey a new drama of the people living here. For your reference, the recently released teaser is only a tiny fraction of the game, so please look forward to what's to come."

Beyond his collaboration on this game, Don Lee is actively expanding his global influence through various media, including his current participation in the filming of Netflix's 'TRIGGER: Extraction' and his appearance as a master in tvN and Disney+'s 'I Am Boxer.'

Fans are expressing immense excitement, commenting: "Ma Dong-seok in a game? This is unbelievable!" and "Can't wait to see his signature action in 'GANG OF DRAGON'," and "Yakuza creator + Don Lee, this is a must-buy."
