Yakuza team making Fist of the North Star action game

Yakuza style action and minigames

During Sega’s Yakuza series reveal event in Akihabara, on top of Yakuza: Kiwami 2 and a Yakuza MMO for mobile and PC, they topped it off with Hokuto Ga Gotoku (Hokuto No Ken is Fist of the North Star, Ryu Ga Gotoku is Yakuza) for PlayStation 4. It’s scheduled for a 2018 release in Japan. As the mixed named implies, it’s somewhat of a mix between the two.

It is an original Fist of the North Star title and story with similar combat, exploration, and mini-games from the Yakuza games. Kenshiro will even be played by Kiryu Kazuma voice actor Takaya Kuroda. However, Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi reassured fans that it won’t simply be a Yakuza game with new wallpaper, confirming there will be various new elements.
