A Sequel for Judgment Called Lost Judgment Announced, Releasing in September
After leaking on the PlayStation Store yesterday, and after significant buildup in teases on Twitter, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has finally unveiled a sequel to the Yakuza spin off Judgment called Lost Judgment. Hell yeah.
The sequel will take protagonist Takayuki Yagami, a disgruntled former lawyer turned local private investigator, away from the familiar setting of Kamurocho and to Yokohama, the setting of last year’s Yakuza: Like A Dragon. There, Yagami will be solving a new case about a man who takes justice into his own hands after the system fails his family.
Along the way, Yagami will ingratiate himself in the new city and his investigations will bring him to a high school, which has been fully modeled to be explored and looks to play a significant part in the story. Here, Yagami will be able to undertake what the developers are calling “School Stories,” which are intended to be lighthearted, and occasionally deep, side-activities, much like what you see out of the sidequests in a mainline Yakuza game. Come for the deep characterization, stay for Yagami moving those hips like it’s nobody’s damn business with the cheerleading squad in a rhythm game.
