Yakuza 4 Slated for North American Release

Yakuza 4 Slated for North American Release

None

SEGA has confirmed that Yakuza 4, originally released exclusively in Japan under the name Ryu ga Gotoku 4, is headed to North America after all.

Yakuza 3 was a fun brawler with an in-depth storyline that released for the PlayStation 3 back on March 9th.  It received fairly high critical praise and the series has garnered a rather rabid fan following in the West.  Consequently, SEGA decided localizing the fourth entry seemed like a good idea.

Interestingly, Yakuza 4 won’t just follow the exploits of series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu.  Apparently, three other playable characters will also be available: Masayoshi Tanimura, Shun Akiyama, and Taiga Saejima .

More details are on their way, as SEGA plans on discussing the game at greater length at E3 2010.
