Report: New Yakuza game in the works [Update]

yakuza6

Apparently, the cover of the latest Famitsu claims there’s a new Yakuza game in development.

It’s a prequel, supposedly, uncliding a younger Kazuma Kiryu. Toshihiro Nagoshi is reportedly back as producer.

We’ll have to take PS3Center‘s word for it at the moment.

Expect more soon.

Update: It’s true. There’s more on Kotaku.

I think they missed a rather large opp in not doing an English version, to be honest.

I’m still hopeful that the third one will make it to the west. The second one wasn’t confirmed for a western release until pretty late after it was released in Japan.

I am with Gamoc! My dictionary doesn’t compute that word!

When you get the opportunity, take the piss as much as you can. Becuase they will always do the same.

Sounds badass, loved the Yakuza 3 demo. Short and sweet and very depthy.
