Japanese talent and model Ayana Tsubaki is quite involved with Yakuza games, having lent her face to previous games of the franchise, and working as a co-host for Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi’s own Nico Nico show.
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?
That would be a killer launch title in Japan for PS4.
Yakuza on PS4 = oh my god.
I've always wanted a real Samurai game like the classic Samurai movies, with tons of honor based drama and realistic sword fights that end in a slash or two. Judging by the previous Yakuza games realistic fights are right out but the drama will be there in spades so I'll take it quite happily.
Had to google that name/"celebrity", and was shocked to say the least.
