The newest entry in the long-standing Yakuza series from Sega has been officially confirmed, and for not only the PlayStation 3, but also the next-gen PlayStation 4.
Yakuza Ishin (Yakuza Restoration as it is translated for us westerners…whom will likely not even get the game) will simultaneously release on the PS3, and be a launch title for the PS4 in Japan, on February 22nd, 2014. This title is set in the Edo period (1603-1868) and features iconic characters such as Kazuma Kiryu playing historical figures – think of them as past lives. Not many details have been revealed about the game, however we do know that cross-play with the PS Vita as a controller will be available.
