We posted the other day that Yakuza 4 would release January 17, 2019 in Japan and that the character Masayoshi Tanimura, one of the four playable characters in Yakuza 4 would have a model and voice changed due to the original actor Hiroki Narimiya retiring from acting (which not might all be his choice). This new trailer shows the new voice and model in action, now being played by Toshiki Masuda.
Not only that, SEGA has also released a ton of screenshots including the box art for the game.

If there’s one reason I’m so glad we have these remasters now, it’s that they brought in the newer lighting engine from Yakuza 5 onward. The old lighting engine looks so bad nowadays. It makes the characters look like plastic. It even messed with their faces and the texture of Tanimura’s jacket. Everything looks much better now even though the underlying graphics are still the same.
