Exciting news will come from Japan tomorrow. SEGA has announced that the Yakuza and Binary Domain developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will be holding a live event in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Running from 7-8pm JST, the studio is scheduled to announce multiple projects according to Yakuza director Toshihiro Nagoshi (via RPG Site).
The full announcement can be found in the video below (note: it’s in Japanese):
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio most recently finished development on Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, which will arrive in North America in 2018. We got to check out the upcoming title at E3 2017, and came away impressed. Here’s a snippet from our preview:
While the graphical improvements were immediately noticeable, I didn’t know just how big of an upgrade The Song of Life was until I got into my first fight. Combat in the Yakuza series has always been enjoyable (I’ll take any excuse I can to swing a bicycle at pedestrians), but it’s been undeniably stiff in the past. All of that rigid movement is gone, as Yakuza 6 feels incredibly fluid. I was able to pull off every idea I wanted to in combat, be it picking up a traffic cone or slamming a bad guy into the wall of a nearby restaurant.
While Yakuza 6: The Song of Life won’t release until 2018, fans will be able to enjoy Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of the first game in the series, when it releases next month.
Let us know in the comments what projects you would like to see from the studio. A sequel to Binary Domain? More Yakuza? A brand new IP? There are certainly a lot of possibilities!
