O Ryu Ga Gotoku Studioresponsible for the development of games in the Yakuza franchise, announced this Thursday (8) that it will reveal a new title next week.
The news will be announced during a broadcast part of the studio event, RGG Summit 2022scheduled for September 14, at 7 am (Brasilia time), and can be watched through the official YouTube channel.
For now, it is unclear which game will be announced. The safest bet would be Yakuza 8, which has even had images of its development revealed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio in July this year.
However, in March, the studio of sega stated that he was working on “many” titles that weren’t related to the Yakuza or Judgment franchises, so it’s possible that the announcement is referring to one of these mystery projects.

It is also worth remembering that the studio has already made games from series such as Virtua Fighter, Super Monkey Ball and Binary Domain, so it would not be impossible to see a title from them in this ad. Another game the developer was responsible for was Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, inspired by the manga of the same name, which loved the style and mechanics of Yakuza.
Of course, nothing stops Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio from also working on other Sega properties, which certainly has plenty of dormant franchises waiting to be repurposed. We can only wait for the big announcement to find out.
