Nagoshi teased that he had some big announcements coming up in the end of the month, but thanks to Famisu we already know what they are. SEGA is going to have a pretty nice TGS line-up.
First of all Nagoshi has his own studio to make Yakuza titles called “Ryu ga Gotoku Studio.” Ryu Ga Gotoku is the name of the Yakuza series in Japan, it means Like a Dragon.
The first game that the Yakuza team will work on is Black Panther 2, a sequel to the handheld Yakuza spin-off. It will be called in Japan “Kurohyou 2 Ryu ga Gotoku.” This title will be playable at TGS and is set to be released in Japan in Spring 2012. Also its for the PSP. Odd, wonder if this has to do with the ‘rumored’ Yakuza title for Vita.
In the end the magazine says that they are also working on Yakuza 5. I guess we might get more details about this come the press conference.
We will post scans when we get them.

It’s still owned by SEGA, like Kojima Productions by Konami right?
Yes, the team is still owned by SEGA.
Sonic Team…
Ryu ga Gotoku Studio…
I’m thinking it’s not a great idea to name your studio after the franchise that you’re milking.
