The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu presents an interview with Masayoshi Yokoyama, new director of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio after the farewell of Nagoshi and Sato. During the interview there was talk of Yakuza 8, from the series of Judgment and future projects currently in progress. Here are the highlights of the article.
- “It is quite normal for a company to change the structure of their staff. I’m really happy to be in an environment where there is a need to make a big big announcement for something so normal. “
- In the ten years just passed the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has grown to accommodate 300 members on its staff. Toshihiro Nagoshi, Daisuke Sato and I have been the firm’s three most important members for a long time, but hardly this kind of change happens without upsetting things. In this sense, I think this restructuring is synonymous with change. “
- “Yakuza 8 (working title) will be a sequel set a few years after the story of Yakuza: Like A Dragon. When it launches, it will be a story centered on Ichiban Kasuga. ” (Will Ichiban Kasuga be the protagonist?) “Yes, of course. That’s right. “
- “The Judgment series is also very important to us.”
- “We will actively challenge ourselves to create new titles, not just for the series Judgment, if circumstances permit. “
- “There are also titles in the works that do not belong to the Yakuza and Judgment series.”
