There is a new Yakuza title in development for PS3. Apparently, the previous Yakuza title, “Kenzan”, was a spin-off from the main series, and was not the official Yakuza 3 as previously believed.
If you are confused, here is a quick overview:
| Game Title | Console | Japan Release | USA + Europe Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yakuza | PS2 | Dec 2005 | Sep 2006 |
| Yakuza 2 | PS2 | Dec 2006 | Sep 2008 |
| Yakuza: Kenzan | PS3 | Mar 2008 | Unknown |
| Yakuza 3 | PS3 | Unkown | Unknown |

They’d better still release Kenzan to the West!

I’m eagerly anticipating Kenzan as well. What is taking them so long? It can’t be that hard to subtitle the game? I don’t want voice overs anyway!
