SEGA has trademarked the name “Yakuza Wars” in Japan, and naturally it’s triggered a bunch of speculation from fans of that well-known series the publisher’s long been behind which features just a few Japanese gangsters in nice suits. I’m talking about Ryu Ga Gotoku’s Like A Dragon franchise, formerly known, lest we forget, as the Yakuza series.
As spotted by Gematsu, the trademark in question was filed on July 26, with the listing offering no inkling as to what it could mean, aside from it having been done by SEGA and being related to video games.
Since SEGA hasn’t currently announced a game with Yakuza Wars as its title or subtitle, and Ryu Ga Gotoku having recently teased that fans will be “be surprised” by its next game, the speculation mill among people who probably own Majima construction hats has gone into overdrive.
