In a new interview at IGN, SEGA producers Toshihiro Nagoshi and Kazuki Hosokawa confirmed that Yakuza will remain a turn based series going forward. The Judgment series will carry on as an action series, keeping the traditional action gameplay of Yakuza 0 through 6. Here’s what they had to say:
“The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-based RPG. On the other hand, over the years, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has accumulated resources and know-how of making flashy and exhilarating action games that are effortless to enjoy. We decided that we should let our signature action gameplay live on through Lost Judgment.”
