10 Video Game Trailers That Spoiled WAY Too Much
9. Kiryu's Cancer - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a game jam-packed with surprises, and its single most devastating revelation is that original franchise protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is suffering with cancer.
Even if you're mainlining the story - and honestly, why would you ever do that in a Like a Dragon game? - Kiryu doesn't reveal this fact for about 7 or 8 hours.
And yet, a trailer released more than four months before the game freely gave this twist away, giving fans a whole lot of time to process it before they even picked up a controller.
Considering the reveal would've been a colossal gut punch if we didn't all know it was coming, it feels like Sega robbed the moment of its impact by needlessly giving it away in the game's marketing.
After all, nobody's buying Infinite Wealth because of a cancer subplot, and it would've been incredibly easy to feature Kiryu in the trailers without revealing his health issues. Truly, truly baffling.
