Yakuza series producer Daisuke Sato teased that new information for the next entry in the franchise would be released today, and while he has delivered on that promise, what we've learned isn't exactly what we would call substantial.
The next Yakuza game will feature a female co-star, and we now know that Eri Kamataki will play that role. Alongside a cool cash prize of one million yen, she'll also put in an appearance alongside new main character Ichiban Kasuga when the title releases.
It's not the information we were hoping for, but that may arrive just prior to the Tokyo Games Show instead. More details are set to be revealed on 29th August, so you'll need to once again report back with us when that date comes around. Are you excited for a new Yakuza game? Head to the arcade in the comments below.

After Yakuza 0 and Judgment, I'll play anything this studio's got up their sleeve. Bring it on.
Just give me a release date so I can pre-order.
At last.... more info and a good change to spice it up.... lovely. No one can get upset by this news surely.
🍿
Please be Miss Tatsu from Yakuza 0.
Wonder if she’ll last more than a game hahaha
Ah well. Judgment will keep me busy for awhile anyway.
Here’s hoping for a blowout at TGS. Not sure if they would announce western remaster releasesthen or not but the sooner the better!
I already miss Kiryu to be honest, but cant wait to see what they come up with!
@ApostateMage Yes pls!
No hurry, haven't even gotten around to play judgement yet.
Is it me or is there literally every 6 months another yakuza game coming out
That’s cool I like the diversity. Now give me English voice acting / dubbing. 😊
@Flurpsel haha not quite . . . RGG Studio have released these games on average about 1 a year since 2005 (including spin-offs like Kenzan!, Of The End / Dead Souls and Judge Eyes / Judgment and full remakes), English-speaking markets have been playing catch-up since Yakuza 5 took 3 years to get a localised release, so we did get 3 of them in 2018 (Yakuza 6, Yakuza Kiwami 2 & Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise).
Hopefully Sony doesn’t censor it.
