What you mean new yakuza ?
I was watching and my Japanese is limited but never heard anything about a new one
I thought the black japanese guy in the suit who was at the beginning of the FoTN teaser was hinted as being from the new game?
edit - or maybe he's from Yakuza online??
From my understanding, there's a new Yakuza project that will be combined with the Yakuza Online game.
Could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted it.
Oh ok, thanks ! I was splurging through with my shit Japanese so probably missed 80% of it
What track record?
Puyo Tetris, Valkyria Revolution, 7th Dragon, StellaGlow, 3DS Classic Collection, Hatsune Miku and 2 Yakuza games all in the space of a year so far.
They're track record is pretty good now!

They've gotten a lot better about localizing their games, I have high hopes for this.
Just hope that if they do dub it, they also give an option for the original JP dub as well. can't imagine playing a game that has the VA of Kiryu and NOT listening to that voice.

It's going to get localized, come on. It's not an online game that requires constant updates.

So no real word about a Yakuza 7, and instead they're making a Fist of the North Star game? I guess that means production on Y7 is getting delayed?

Huh? They revealed the new protagonist of Yakuza 7 and brief story details were revealed. Since part of the new protags story mentions that he gets out of a 17 year long prison stint in 2018 it means the game is due out next year (assuming its not delayed) as mainline Yakuza games are always based in the same year they are released. Expect to hear a bit more at TGS this year probably, I'd bet on a December 2018 release.
If its anything like Yakuza 6 though we won't get many details until this time next year, with the next few months mainly being about Kiwami 2 (which is due out this year in Japan), then they'll shift their focus to releasing more info on 7.

Yeah I'm expecting TGS 2018 to be the big blowout period for Y7 info. But we'll definitely be getting scraps of info along the way as well.

Ah okay, thanks. I'm kind of surprised they have enough studio resources to work on two new games at the same time. I suppose Y7 will continue to borrow assets from earlier titles, but still, that's a packed schedule for them.

Ohhhhhhh. I feel save well be getting these as long as we keep buying the games. Now if you excuse me. (Buys 6 copies of the remake)I was talking about chance of localisation, not the quality of the content

Eh, re-reading things I'm not so sure about that anymore. The messaging seems to have muddied what is related to the online game and what isn't. Right now it sounds like the online game follows on from Yakuza 6, and will feature the new protagonist shown off today, however apparently there is also a console game coming with the same character but its not clear (for me at least) if a new console game is coming next year yet. TGS will hopefully shed more light on this.
