Earlier today came the announcement of Lost Judgment from the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios. While this was a pretty big announcement that got many fans excited, there are still some diehard Yakuza series fans that were left wondering what is next for them. Fortunately, an interview between IGN and Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa aims to shed some light on this.
One of the biggest takeaways from this interview is the fact that going forward, the Yakuza series will remain a turn-based RPG just like Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Judgment will now be the series that continues on with the classic style of action once found in the mainline Yakuza titles.
“The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-based RPG. On the other hand, over the years, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has accumulated resources and know-how of making flashy and exhilarating action games that are effortless to enjoy. We decided that we should let our signature action gameplay live on through Lost Judgment.â€
