Early Yakuza: Dead Souls concept saw our heroes battling aliens in Kamurocho

3 years 5 months ago

Yesterday saw Team Yakuza host its Ryu ga Gotoku anniversary stream, looking back on the myriad of mainline titles and spin-off releases in the dramatic/ridiculous RPG franchise, celebrating 15 years of back-alley brawls and hilariously off-tone mini-games.

Unfortunately the stream was, (once again), a bust in regards to new announcements, with series director Toshihiro Nagoshi reiterating his previous statement that the development team is currently working on a new title, but offering no new details regarding the mystery title's brand, platform, gameplay style, or release date.

Regardless, as translated by the folks over at DualShockers, there were some interesting tidbits discussed by Nagoshi and the stream's guests, which included producers Daisuke Satō and Masayoshi Yokoyama, alongside Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasugi's respective voice actors: Takaya Kuroda and Kazuhiro Nakaya.
