There might not be a PSX event this year, but the Kinda Funny Games Showcase is looking to fill in the void somewhat. The event will present showcase for nearly fifty games that will be shown off, and as it turns out, a new Yakuza announcement by Sega might also be among those games.
Recently, Greg Miller of Kinda Funny Games tweeted at Sega’s official account, egging them on to make a Yakuza announcement at the showcase next month, to which Sega responded, “You know what. You’ve convinced us. Sure!” That is definitely cause for excitement for Yakuza fans.
The announcement could be any number of things- Yakuza 3 Remaster is already out in Japan, while Yakuza 4 Remaster launches in the country next month, but Sega have suggested that they could launch in the west as well. Another possibility is a PC announcement for Yakuza 6, or release date announcement for the PC version of Yakuza Kiwami. Less likely (but not completely out of the question) is an announcement relating to Shin Yakuza.
We’ll find out either way when the Kinda Funny Games Showcase takes place on December 8.
