Sega’s Like a North Star, their Fist of the North Star game developed in the same style as their Yakuza series (by the Yakuza development team, in fact) launched for the PS4 in Japan earlier this year, and will be coming on over to the west too. Ahead of its launch in October, it seems like Sega has finally shared the box art for the western version of the game.
And… it’s not that good. I have to say I liked the hyper stylized Japanese box art far more. This one looks fine, and I guess it instantly communicates the point of the game, which is all you can ask for from your box art, but it doesn’t look as appealing on its own. Still, look at me complaining about box arts. Who really cares, as long as the game is great, right?
Thankfully, we don’t actually have to wait long to be able to play it. Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise launches for the PS4 exclusively, on October 2. While PS4 is the only platform it has been announced for so far, given that Sega is bringing all of its games over to PC too these days, we can at least expect this game to hit Steam a few months down the line, if nothing else.
