The Yakuza series first appeared as a turn-based role-playing game with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and after the success of the game, the series is scheduled to continue in this genre.
In an interview with IGN, Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa announced that future games in the series will also have a turn-based combat system.
Yakuza spin-off Judgment, on the other hand, will focus on real-time action.
Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio officially announced Judgment’s sequel, Lost Judgment, today.
