Ryu Ga Gotoku studios showcased their upcoming crime adventure game during a 30-minute presentation on publisher Sega’s YouTube channel. During the presentation, viewers were shown a five-minute story trailer, followed by interviews with the game’s directors, a word from the lead actor, gameplay footage, and then a Q&A session from gaming media. As far as game presentations go, this was superb!

Many more features and details were discussed in the Q&A session, but the developers have also promised the signature hilarity and silliness alongside the pulse raising drama that also plays a big part in the game.
Another detail confirmed in the presentation was that Ryu Ga Gotoku studios have confirmed that the Yakuza series going forward will keep the turn-based combat introduced with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The Judgment games, in an effort to differentiate between the series, will continue with real-time brawler action combat.
