Yakuza Kenzan might never be remade and released globally. The developer says it's costly and might not stay true to its roots anymore.
Such a shame. Kenzan with 2022 tech would've been great. Hopefully something changes down the road.
It will happen especially after the success of this remake. Also Yakuza dead souls with today's graphics and technology and update shooter controls would be awesome
Also would y mind some more fist of Northstar games and sequel to binary domain
In a recent interview, the producer of the Yakuza series, addressed the possibility of Yakuza Kenzan and Ishin coming to the west.

I own the original. It wouldnt be a good move to bring it over. Its very dated. Id be more interested in a black panther remake.
I think right now is the perfect time because Yakuza series has gained so much popularity over the past few years
I really hope with all the recent success of this series we get these two games. Longtime series fans have been asking for a while now. Either remake of go back and tweak like EA is doing with ME remaster where they are upgrading the gameplay
Same man. I've considered importing them soooo many times.
If a genie gave me one wish it would be to trade the existence of Dead Souls for these instead lol
I picked up a copy of Ishin in Japan and played a few hours with an English guide. It's a really awesome game, and given the popularity of Yakuza in the West these past few years, I'm looking forward to a Western release.
Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan are two spin-offs in the Yakuza franchise that haven't been localized yet. Sega Europe has now confirmed that they don't have any plans to bring them to West.
no plans for these two games, yakuza destroyed with turn based combat. WTF? too much success for Yakuza?
Yakuza 5 ;(
Hurt me too deep.
I would want to add Gundam vs Gundam Extreme to the list :/ I love the Gundam vs games but its sad not having them with english text / subtitles and having to import for more than $100.
Valkyria Chronicles 3. Sega is such a joke the last few years.
Front Mission 5: Scars of War. One of the BEST games SE ever produced, the pinnacle of the series. Excellent cinematic menus and music is unbelievable. Gameplay and mechanics are fresh even still and really fast and impressive.
After Japanese Yakuza 4, I'm waiting for Yakuza 5 to hit the Japanese PSN, that game is the gangstershenmueminigameextrava ganza of the year!
On the list:
- Yakuza Kenzan
- Ciel no Surge
- Love Plus
Not on the list:
