One of the most notable faces tied to the Yakuza series at Sega has been announced to be changing roles within the company today. Fortunately for those worried about the adjustment, it should prove to be nothing but a good thing for the future of Yakuza as a whole.
One of the most notable faces tied to the Yakuza series at Sega has been announced to be changing roles within the company today. Fortunately for those worried about the adjustment, it should. Subreddit for the.Ryu ga Gotoku / Yakuza Online. mobile game from SEGA. Let's come together and make this a great one! Created Sep 29, 2018.
Sega announced today that longtime Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi will be stepping down from his current position as the company’s Chief Creative Officer. Instead, Nagoshi will move into the role of a creative director. The change should allow Nagoshi to be more directly involved with the development of upcoming games, most notably at Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
To date, Nagoshi has worked on every mainline Yakuza game that has ever been released. Starting out initially as a producer on the original game, Nagoshi has been a director on the franchise in each of its subsequent installments dating back to Yakuza 2. In recent years, he has specifically stepped into the position of Executive Director on the series starting with Yakuza 0 and extending through the franchise’s most recent entry, Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
- Up next, Yakuza Kiwami 2. Like Kiwami, this is a remake of a PS2 game, 2006’s Yakuza 2. But it moves to the PS4-era Dragon Engine, first seen in Yakuza 6, and it’s a much bigger and more.
- YAKUZA® Official Store. YAKUZA Clothing was founded in 2004 by long time friends, Mick Mark and Bertram. The name YAKUZA is usually associated with the Japanese Mafia and for a couple of tattooed bad boys from East Germany, the name represents a respect for the tradition and integrity of an 800 year old organization.
In all likelihood, this move is one that will change a whole lot, especially when viewed by the public. Nagoshi and the rest of the team at RGG Studio will likely continue to work on the Yakuza series well into the future. While we have no teases of where things might go from here, Like a Dragon proved to be a soft reboot of the franchise for the most part and will likely see sequels announced in the future.
If you haven't played Yakuza: Like a Dragon for yourself yet, the game is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. As for the game's PlayStation 5 iteration, it's set to finally arrive here in a little over a month on March 2, 2021.

“Yakuza 0 is one of the most eccentric, idiosyncratic and downright charming games around There's simply nothing else quite like it, and it's well worth your time.” 90/100 – PC Gamer “Yakuza 0 is a fantastic title for those who enjoy a game with droves of story, brawling, and a little bit of strange humour.
