Judgment Franchise Comes to PC Via Steam

Wednesday, September 14th, 2022

Lost Judgment

Both Judgment games have finally made their way to PC and can be bought together with The Kaito Files DLC as The Judgment Collection on Steam.

Judgment and Lost Judgment take place in the Yakuza universe and put you in control of a new protagonist called Takayuki Yagami who is a lawyer-turn-detective investigating a case involving a series of murders where the victims eyes are removed. While the combat is very similar to the Yakuza series, there is a heavier focus on investigation.

Judgment is currently priced at £34.99, Lost Judgment is priced at £49.99 and The Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment is priced at £24.99. The entire collection can be purchased for a discounted total of £83.57.

Wednesday, September 14th, 2022

A new Yakuza side story game has been revealed called Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. The game will explore what happened to Kiryu Kazuma between Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and Like a Dragon 8. The game is set to launch at some point in 2023.

It has been reported that Like a Dragon Gaiden will be a smaller entry in the franchise – roughly half the size of a typical Yakuza game. The game is due to launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Like a Dragon 8 Announced, Kiryu Kazuma Returns

Wednesday, September 14th, 2022

Like a Dragon 8 has been formally revealed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio for an early 2024 release. It will follow the turn-based RPG action of Yakuza: Like a Dragon but will feature 2 protagonists in the form of Ichiban Kasuga and a returning Kiryu Kazama, now looking particularly more aged since his last appearance in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life.

The Yakuza name has been officially dropped in Western territories, with the much more literal ‘Like a Dragon’ now being the franchise name going forward. The same applies to Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name which was also revealed today.

Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone Movies in Development

Saturday, August 20th, 2022

SEGA have revealed they are working with Picture Start to develop movies based on Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone. The Hollywood Reporter originally broke the news, but SEGA have actually confirmed the news via their official social media channels, meaning this news actually leading to finished movies may actually happen.

Lots of intellectual properties get snapped up by various movie production studios only to languish in production hell, so the fact that SEGA are comfortable enough to talk about this publicly means there are definite plans for these movies to actually happen.

Picture Start are currently most well known for the movies Am I Ok? which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022 and will release at some point in the future on HBO Max, and Cha Cha Real Smooth which is currently available on Apple TV+ and is currently sitting at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
