Yakuza To Remain A Turn Based Rpg Series

Speaking in an interview with IGN ahead of today’s Lost Judgment reveal, Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa said the decision was made after the success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. If you want a straight-up action series set in the world of Yakuza, Lost Judgment and its predecessor will have to do. “The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-based RPG,” said the duo. “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.” Like a Dragon is the seventh main entry in the franchise and stars Ichiban Kasuga. It was the first in the series to feature turn-based combat, and also contains plenty of side content, mini-games, and even underground dungeons. The game released on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam on November 10, 2020 and was one of Alex’s favorite games of the year.
