Yakuza Kenzan might never be remade and released globally. The developer says it's costly and might not stay true to its roots anymore.
In a recent interview, the producer of the Yakuza series, addressed the possibility of Yakuza Kenzan and Ishin coming to the west.
I own the original. It wouldnt be a good move to bring it over. Its very dated. Id be more interested in a black panther remake.
I really hope with all the recent success of this series we get these two games. Longtime series fans have been asking for a while now. Either remake of go back and tweak like EA is doing with ME remaster where they are upgrading the gameplay
I picked up a copy of Ishin in Japan and played a few hours with an English guide. It's a really awesome game, and given the popularity of Yakuza in the West these past few years, I'm looking forward to a Western release.
Yakuza Ishin and Kenzan are two spin-offs in the Yakuza franchise that haven't been localized yet. Sega Europe has now confirmed that they don't have any plans to bring them to West.
no plans for these two games, yakuza destroyed with turn based combat. WTF? too much success for Yakuza?
2017 is a big year for the Yakuza series! Yakuza 0 was released back on January 24, and now Yakuza Kiwami is coming to the PlayStation 4 on August 29. Now is the perfect time to get into the series. But before people do, they may be wondering what they should know about these games. Cue an extensive explanation!
That it's an awesome series, and that it's not like GTA at all (something many people assume when they first see it).
You need to know that if you are curious about the series, go out and buy a Yakuza 0. You may thank me later.
That it's amazing? Didn't even know the series exist until the release of Yakuza 0. At that time I have nothing to play to I gave it a try. And wow the story is just amazing. It's so interesting that I didnt even do any side missions or side content of the game.
If you're reading this and you still didn't get to play Yakuza. I recommend you play it. The story is 11 out of 10.
Such a shame. Kenzan with 2022 tech would've been great. Hopefully something changes down the road.
As long as in English, just remaster is okay, no urgency for remake/kiwami,
