Yakuza Ishin is approaching its release in Japan on February 22nd, and Sega just released a batch of full HD screenshots from the PS4 version of the game.
Western releases of Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan could finally be happening thanks to the overwhelming success of Ghost of Tsushima.
"Sato: Even long before Ghost of Tsushima, I did want to release “samurai” games like Kenzan and Ishin in the West. Unfortunately, after Yakuza 0, we were very busy with remastering the numbering Yakuza titles for the PS4, so we missed the opportunity to work on some of these other games."
The remasters strike again. Easy cash is like a brick wall to new releases.
I don't think any of the mentioned games have such mainstream appeal like GoT. GoT worked, because it was made by a western developer.
For some reason, Sega doesn't think games about ancient Japan would sell in America.
five actually
>Yakuza Online
>Yakuza black panther 1 and 2
>Yakuza Kenzen and Ishin
Black Panther 1 and Kenzan are being translated but i havent heard anything from the fanpatches since last september i guess.
You might want to work on them investigative journalism skills, bub!
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?
I really hope this game comes stateside.
On behalf of all North American PlayStation gamers,
Please bring this game to the West.
Thank you.
The art style of this game reminds me of shenmue, if sega ever made another shenmue im sure it would look very similar to this.
Will there be sword fighting tho...better yet,will there be ninjas?
Nice. They'd be fools not to bring it overseas. With a new console starving for games they're guaranteed a few hundred thousand sales. Easily worth translation costs.
