There is hope for Ishin and Kenzan yet.

An official Sega survey for Yakuza: Kiwami 2 suggests the company is considering localizations of the Yakuza remasters and spin-offs Yakuza: Ishin! and Yakuza: Kenzan!

In Japan, a PlayStation 4 remaster of Yakuza 3 was recently released, with plans for a Yakuza 4 remaster this fall and Yakuza 5 remaster in spring 2019. As for the spin-offs, Yakuza: Ishin! is a spin-off set during the Bakumatsu period released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan in February 2014. Yakuza: Kenzan! is a spin-off set during the Edo period released for PlayStation 3 in 2008.

Here are the questions from the survey:

How interested are you in purchasing remasters/remakes of existing Yakuza games?

How interested are you in purchasing new games set in the world of Yakuza?

How interested are you in purchasing games created by the Yakuza team in other worlds, like the upcoming Fist of the North Star game?

How interested are you in purchasing the various spin-off titles that have never received western release?

Yakuza: Kiwami 2 launched for PlayStation 4 in the Americas and Europe today.

Thanks, ResetEra.
