Yakuza PSP game Project K named and dated

Remember us telling you about the Yakuza series game that would come to the PSP? It was codenamed “Project K,” and we knew very little about it. Now we know the game’s name and even have a release date.

Guess what? The game keeps with the Japanese series name Ryu ga Gotoku. This new one is called Kurohyou Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou, or Black Leopard: Ryu ga Gotoku New Chapter. If it comes out here (please?!) then it will be called something like Black Leopard: New Yakuza or something.

We have a few new details from the latest Famitsu story. The game will release on the PSP in Japan on September 22, which means we’ll likely see a heavy push during Tokyo Game Show. It is priced at 6,279 yen on UMD and 5,600 yen in downloadable form. The game will include 300 minutes of voice in story scenes. While no specific gameplay details were given, Famitsu does say that the game will try to recreate the harshness of fighting, whatever that means.

Expect to hear more from Sega very soon. Sega, please release this in North America!
