On April 29, Sega will hold an event with the creators of the Yakuza series at which they may unveil the next installment

Sega will hold a Super Talk Stage event with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio at Niconico Chokaigi on April 29, 2022.
Although the event will take place on stage, fans of the beloved Yakuza franchise will be able to watch it online to \"prevent the spread of the coronavirus\" and \"take steps to avoid the risk of infection.
\"The show will be hosted by speaker Atsuko Uchida and will feature studio director and executive producer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Masayoshi Yokoyama, who will answer questions about the past, present and future of the Yakuza franchise.
The event description notes that \"you may even get to hear about the future of Yakuza and various things that only the director of Ryuu Ga Gotoku Studio can answer!\".This comes amid news that several key Ryuu Ga Gotoku Studio employees have left the company to pursue other projects.
Toshihiro Nagoshi, who was behind the Yakuza franchise, tendered his resignation back in February.
Shortly thereafter, the developer announced the formation of a new company called Nagoshi Studio.When it came to his future prospects, Nagoshi remained largely silent, but the developer was willing to make a few hints.We are influenced by the movies and are interested in making games that offer a high level of human drama.
That's what we find interesting.
As before, I hope to create games in this vein that can reach a global audience.
So you won't find us having puzzle games for smartphones or anything like that.
Those games are fun, but what we're good at and what the world expects of us are games with dramatic and touching stories, and that's what we want to create.
That's what we focus on.
