The studio behind the Yakuza series and the Judgment series, Ryu Ga Gotoku, is working on a new franchise, but it won\u2019t be connected to either of their beloved crime-related series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This news comes from Video Games Chronicle<\/a><\/em>, which reports that studio director Masayoshi Yokohama told Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu that RGG is planning a new game separate from the Yakuza or Judgment series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also working on unannounced titled outside of [Yakuza and Judgment],\u201d Yokoyama told Famitsu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re worried about not getting more Yakuza as a result, though, don\u2019t fret \u2013 RGG has already confirmed that a sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon is in the works<\/a>, even though series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi has departed from Sega. The future of the Judgment series, however, is not so guaranteed. As noted by VGC<\/em>, after an alleged dispute between Sega and lead actor Takuya Kimura\u2019s talent agency, it\u2019s unclear if the series even has its leading actor to rely on for the role of Takayuki Yagami.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yokoyama said RGG \u201cwill continue to cherish the Judgment series\u201d when talking to Famitsu, so that\u2019s something. Only time will tell what comes of it, but now we know a new franchise is in the works at the studio.<\/p>\n

Check out this story about Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi\u2019s departure from Sega<\/a> after that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
