Maybe one day we’ll see Yakuza titles released in Japan and the west on the same day, and maybe one of them will be Kenzan or Ishin. They’re also aiming for simultaneous launches across the world, although this isn’t something Sato can promise just yet. This title was released on multiple platforms, including Xbox, and it’s something Sato said the studio will definitely be doing in the future so more players in the west can “have the opportunity to play our games”. ![]() The most recent release, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, helped the franchise to sell 2 million units in 2020 alone. During an IGN Live segment at Gamescom, Yakuza series producer, Daisuke Sato, commented on the possibility of a Yakuza Ishin localization, something fans have been pining over for years. The Yakuza franchise’s success in the west has helped it to sell over 14 million copies in its lifetime. During an IGN Live segment at Gamescom, Yakuza series producer, Daisuke Sato, commented that a Yakuza Ishin localization is under consideration. This makes the decision to release them in the west “a bit more complicated”, especially as the studio is just a single development team rather than multiple teams working on multiple projects at the same time. Sato would still like to localise these games but because Ishin is nearly seven years old and Kenzan is just reaching its 13th anniversary, porting the games wouldn’t be a simple process-they would likely need additional work to remake them for the current market.
