Despite Ryu Ga Gotoku still not being confirmed for any specific systems, I think we can all assume that it’ll be released for a next generation consoles if these screenshots are anything to go by:
Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is the latest game in the Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza series and some details are finally beginning to show themselves.
– Ishin is not a true sequel to Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! but more of a spiritual sequel
– Ishin is set just before the Meiji restoration period and not the Edo period of Kenzan!
– Kazama Kiryu is playing the role of Sakamoto Ryōma. Japanese histroy tells us Ryōma sought to overthrow the government and restore rule to the Emperor and held strong beliefs that all men were equal
– A considerable amount of backstory was translated from this magazine scan: click here
Thanks to Yakuza Fan who have been an incredible source in finding information about Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin.
A new entry in the Yakuza series has been revealed! Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is the name of the latest title but apart from that and the above piece of artwork we have no details as to what the new game will feature or what platforms it will be released on.
The artwork seems to suggest another romp through feudal Japan similar to Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! but only time will tell. More on this as we get it.
Also announced at today’s Nintendo Direct is Yakuza 1&2 HD for Wii-U. It appears the game will still be a Japan exclusive title though. The game releases in Japan on 8/8/2013.
Yakuza’s titular hero Kiryu Kazuma is making a guest appearance in Everybody’s Golf 6 as a playable DLC character. Kiryu can be purchased for 500 yen from the Japanese PSN store for both the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the game.

Yakuza director and chief creative officer of SEGA Toshihiro Nagoshi has sat down for a fascinating interview with Famitsu to discuss SEGA’s future, the success of Phantasy Star Online 2’s Japanese launch and the company’s purchase of Relic Entertainment.
Key points include:
– Regarding SEGA’s future; “To be honest, we still need to solidify our footing and our performance as a company, but given the frenetic cycles we deal with nowadays, if we worried solely about that right now, we wouldn’t have a stable future in three or five years.”
– Regarding the success of PSO2’s Japanese launch; “I think it comes down to the talents of the PSO2 team, and how they convinced the company to go that way. I see possibilities with F2P across the industry; it all depends on what you do with it, but it took this team to show us what we could accomplish with this property.”
– Regarding the purchase of Relic Entertainment; “Sega already has The Creative Assembly, which is great at making RTS’, and so we’re becoming one of the best in the world at this genre now. So this purchase was part of our strategy for tackling this genre as well.”
Toshihiro Nagoshi has revealed some details about the next Yakuza title in an interview with Dengeki PlayStation.
According to the big boss there will be significant improvements to the battle system with the overall feel of the game becoming more of a “physical experience”.
It has also been revealed that Yakuza 5 was the last title to be released on PS3. This means the series could now be coming to next generation consoles.
