Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise Confirmed for Western Release

Hokuto Ga Gotoku, the game based on the popular Japanese manga and anime Fist of the North Star by Sega’s Yakuza team that launched for the PS4 last year, has been confirmed to be coming to the west as Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, also exclusively to the PS4.

The game will be launching on October 2, and will come with English and Japanese dubs both (which is even better treatment than Yakuza, which never gets English dubs, gets). The game will feature an alternate take on the events of Fist of the North Star, and utilize the same kind of brawler combat that has made the Yakuza series so beloved. Given that the Fist of the North Star IP is more recognizable and iconic, hopefully, that also means higher sales for it than a Yakuza game.

You can check out an announcement trailer for the game for yourself below.
