Whether Sega will get around to Kenzan and Ishin is uncertain though we’d love to see them.

With Yakuza Kiwami 2 having been a success, it’s not hard to imagine 3, 4, and 5 to potentially follow suit, given that these are only a single console generation old compared to the earliest Yakuza games. A little over ten days ago, I posted a write up on the Junkyard about a very exciting English translation patch for the rather nich but very cool Neon. Sato-san’s answer is by no means confirmation though Sega has been very active in getting these games localised since Yakuza 5. As with Kenzan, Yakuza fans have been pining for English release of this niche spin-off. Set during the Bakumatsu period of the mid 1800s, it depicts the fall of the samurai as society rapidly modernises. This isn’t to be confused with 2014’s Yakuza Ishin, another Japan-only release which came to both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Set during the Edo period in 1605 it followed the story of famed swordsman Miyamoto Musashi (aka Kiryu Kazumanosuke, hence the similar appear). Yakuza Kenzan launched exclusively in Japan on the PlayStation 3 back in 2008. And because Kenzan was an early PS3 game, if it were to receive a simple HD remaster it would feel like it’s missing something, so in my opinion a ‘Kiwami’ version would be better. A lot of Western players mentioned that they want to play this game in English, and Asian players also want the game to release in Chinese. The games are now available across multiple platforms, the Judgment spin-off proved so popular it recently received a sequel, and the fandom had grown even larger. Ryu Ga Gotokus Yakuza series was once considered niche but has been booming in the West in recent years. Kenzan was the first Yakuza game on the PlayStation 3, and only released in Japan. TeamK4L is launching an English translation patch for Kurohyou 2 in January. Personally, Yakuza: Kenzan is quite suitable to get a ‘Kiwami’ makeover.
