Excellent Yakuza spin-off Judgment comes to PlayStation 5 today (we'll have a review for you in the near future), but it appears SEGA is already ready to share what's next for protagonist Takayuki Yagami. The game's official website is teasing an announcement for 7th May 2021 that has been dubbed Judgment Day. The YouTube video above will host the reveal, which has been uploaded with a lot of time to spare. It will go live at 7am PDT/ 10am EDT / 3pm BST on the aforementioned date.
So, what could this announcement be? Our minds immediately jump to a fully-fledged sequel, which is sorely needed after the spin-off's awesome debut on PS4. Another possibility is the confirmation of a PC version for the original game, but SEGA seems to be putting a decent amount of weight behind this reveal and something like that feels a little too simple. The publisher recently registered a trademark for "Lost Judgment", which some took as a Judgment sequel. We hope that is the case, but speculate is all we can really do until 7th May 2021 rolls around.

Yes, give me more Takuya Kimura!
Excellent.. I'll be all over that.
Maybe that's the new way forward for the studio.
Yakuza - turn based RPG
Judgement - beat em up RPG
I can deal with that.
@JapaneseSonic The biggest change is 60FPS, other than that it's the same exact game (with different lighting)
Just started playing judgment yesterday (didn’t know about the ps5 version and I got the PS4 one cheap anyway). A brilliant game so far, although the combat is a bit less responsive than in Yakuza.
Well up for a sequel.
Judgement is a amazing game.the ps4 version looks amazing on my ps4 pro.hope its a sequel.word up son
Hopefully a sequel can bring in more meaningful detective elements. I was really expecting more of a focus on that side of things but it was almost non-existant. It was Yakuza and therefore a lot of fun, but they could really be onto something if they knuckled down on the investigation aspect. Like Ace Attorney, or a Frogwares Sherlock game but with a bit of the old ultraviolence.
I had the PS4 version in my backlog, but picked up the PS5 version as it wasnt too expensive. I understand the upgrade is minimal. More Yakuza is always good though!
Yes, i really hope its a sequel. More Yagami San is what we need right now!
I'll be interested in the sequel but not I'm not paying 40$ for an upgrade. Either give me it for free or on PS Plus.
If you love Yakuza you have to get Judgement.
Yes!
Already released in Japan today, love it so far!
Some of the tweets they keep posting in their sweepstakes thing are new cutscenes which are not from Judgment
May be teasers for the upcoming announcement
I know I said I'd wait for either FF16 or SF6 before I'd look into getting a PS5 before...but this might change that! I loved Judgment!
If this is for a sequel, that would be good. Should be interesting either way.
I thought the first game had a lot of wasted potential. They'll have to put in quite some effort to actually make me consider it.
The setting and story for Judgment were really cool, but the detective gameplay was lacking and there was just so much padding gameplay-wise.
Man, if they announce a Judgment sequel on my birthday, I'm going to lose my s***.
I have yet to play Judgment but I'd be up for a sequel.
Judgment was fantastic. More of that is defo wanted. Less of the cats though.
I would like to play it today. But sadly, the retailer, where I pre-ordered it, didn't get it today. 🤔
Maybe Sega will take a note from konami and release a judgement pachinko.
But seriously, whatever rgg studio makes, I'm in.
@RBMango Happy early Birthday then! I hope your wish comes true.
