Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama has said that Yakuza's recent Switch debut is significantly exceeding internal sales expectations.
Experience four hours of the side story for free on PC. It's discounted along with the rest of the franchise until November 7th.
The Yakuza franchise has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch, with Yakuza Kiwami allowing players to dive into one of series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu's first adventures.
The upcoming Amazon Prime adaptation of Yakuza will tell stories "that games in the past have not been able to explore", according to Amazon.
An official page for the game describes it as "a brand new, classic gangster-themed masterpiece for mobile phones."
"We are middle-aged guys ourselves… so I guess that’s the kind of target audience we’re going for, probably," the series' developers say.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will provide new information on the Like a Dragon franchise heading into this year's Tokyo Game Show.
The Dragon of Dojima is finally coming to Nintendo's platform, with Yakuza Kiwami having been officially announced for the Switch ahead of an October release.
Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio may have an unexpected Like a Dragon spinoff titles in the works, if a recent trademark filing is anything to go by.
The live action series based on Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku's games will premiere on Prime Video on October 24.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has confirmed that its next major title will be revealed later this year at Tokyo Game Show.
"We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised," the developer says.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble embodies what makes the series so endearing in its core gameplay, despite fumbling in other places.
The six-episode series will be released in two chunks of three episodes apiece, with Ryoma Takeuchi starring as Kazuma Kiryu.
The Minato Girls will have live-action and CG scenes, similar to the hostesses from Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
"I’m just going to say, I think we’ll do a Kiwami 3 at some point," says series director Masayoshi Yokoyama.
Details on what exactly the series' next instalment will be are currently scant, however.
But Monday is April Fool's Day, so it could be a whole lot of nothing. Then again, it could be Judgment 3.
"In order to develop Like a Dragon, the Dragon Engine is something that must never be lost," says technical director Yutaka Ita.
The sequel sold over one million copies in its first week, which the developer has "never experienced before," says Masayoshi Yokoyama.
