ziggypossum Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Quote New Japanese trademarks include potential Sega Judgement sequel https://www.gematsu.com/2021/03/japanese-trademarks-katana-engine-by-koei-tecmo-lost-judgment-by-sega-the-centennial-case-by-square-enix-more Quote A Judgment Sequel is in Development The Tojo Dojo can reveal that we have spoken to a source who has told us that a sequel to the 2018 hit Judgment is in development. We wish to stress that this is a rumour but after doing research into it we feel safe saying that we believe this to be genuine. We asked our source for proof to verify what they’re saying and was given information that backed up what they told us. After posting about the trademark for something called Lost Judgment yesterday and stating that we didn’t believe it was Judgment related our source told us we was wrong to assume that. Apparently ‘Lost Judgment’ has been a working title for the sequel along with ‘Judgment: Seize The Truth’. Sega of Japan taking out a trademark for ‘Lost Judgment’ might make it seem like this is the final name they went with but companies often trademark multiple names and choose which one to use at a later date. Another detail revealed to us is that the game will still feature Yagami and his trusty sidekick Kaito. The Yakuza series hasn’t been great about having characters return especially when their likeness is based on someone famous like Yagami who was played by Takuya Kimura. It’s nice to know that we will be continuing our sleuthing adventures in Kamurocho with some familiar faces. We’ve also heard about others who will return from the original game. The game will also apparently feel much darker. The Yakuza series is normally known for its slapstick humour sprinkled throughout and although Judgment had it in places, it was a much more serious story. What we’ve had described to us makes it sound like Yagami didn’t battle all of his demons in the first Judgment. https://tojodojo.com/a-judgment-sequel-is-in-development Edited May 7, 2021 by ziggypossum EDIT 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DoctorHamoud Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 Very believable source who totally doesn’t post false information all the time. Yes, a sequel isn’t out of the question at some point, but this isn’t RGG Studio’s next game. The game is called Judge Eyes in Japan, not Judgment. Meaning the trademarked title is a different game entirely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggypossum Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Quote Judgment countdown website teases May 7 announcement Judgment Day is coming. Publisher Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have launched a “Judgment Day” countdown website teasing an announcement on May 7 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET. The countdown website is available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, and Japanese. A video, also titled “Judgment Day,” will premiere when the countdown ends (English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean). Judgment is a spin-off of the Yakuza series set in Kamurocho, Tokyo. It first launched for PlayStation 4 in December 2018 in Japan, followed by June 2019 worldwide. A remastered version launched today for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Stadia worldwide. Back in March, Sega filed a trademark for “Lost Judgment” in Japan. Although unconfirmed, it is possible the trademark is related to the upcoming announcement. https://www.gematsu.com/2021/04/judgment-countdown-website-teases-may-7-announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby_TheLastofUs Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Here's the trailer. Gameplay footage. Quote Ryu ga Gotoku Studios has officially announced Lost Judgment today, a sequel to its action-mystery 2018 title. For fans who miss Ryu ga Gotoku’s action-style, Judgment will be the franchise that carries that torch as Yakuza transitions into a turn-based RPG. In an interview with IGN ahead of today’s reveal Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and producer Kazuki Hosokawa confirmed that Judgment will be Ryu ga Gotoku’s action series pillar, while Yakuza evolves into a turn-based RPG after the success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon.“That’s right,” the two producers confirmed when asked if Judgment represents a continuation of the classic Yakuza style of gameplay while Yakuza transitions into a turn-based RPG. “The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-based RPG. On the other hand, over the year, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has accumulated resources and know-how of making flashy and exhilarating action games that are effortless to enjoy. We decided that we should let our signature action gameplay live on through Lost Judgment.” This means there will be even more Judgement games in the future.

peffsi Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I wasn't sure they'd keep Yagami because it must be expensive to hire Kimura Takuya. I hope they get him to sing this time, so we can get karaoke. And lol at the gameplay footage.. started to look like Hitman with the distracting coins, and Assassin's Creed with the parkour. Not sure I like the school focus.. My school days were a bit traumatic. Dancing game looks fun though. Also.. I'm in the middle of Yakuza 7 right now and I've spent so much time running around the same places in Yokohama Ijincho that I'm not sure I'd want to do it all again so soon.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thephoenixshow Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is it gonna be the old yakuza games combat or the new combat from like a dragon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Still haven't got around to the first game, have it in my backlog, just waiting to get through more of the Yakuza games first. I'm okay with this series now being the "classic" Yakuza style of gameplay, as long as that style lives on in some form, I actually quite enjoy the combat in Yakuza. I do like turn based RPGs as well so I imagine I'll enjoy Yakuza 7 when I eventually get around to it, and its future titles. Very nice to see this getting a worldwide release for once, we usually have to wait a while for these games in the west. Hopefully this is the standard going forward now, it's nice to see more and more Japanese games releasing simultaneously in the west, or at least not long after. Now if only Falcom could do this...

Valyrious Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The first game in the history of the Yakuza series to release worldwide the same day. Absolutely amazing. I will do my best to buy it day one, but it also depends on what games release around the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDBoss173 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Great news, Judgment was a great game. A global release? Finally, I never thought I would see that. I am pretty sure that puyo puyo is still in the game but I hope they got rid of those annoying requirements (27+ win streak). If not it goes from day one buy to day one rent.

Undead Wolf Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I'm super glad to see them make Judgment its own sub-series. The first game is brilliant. I can't wait to go on another adventure with Yagami and the gang. ? I even sat through the story trailer with that awful English dub just to get an idea of what this new game is about (I really wish they would put out Japanese versions of their trailers with English subtitles), but the dub aside, it seems very interesting. I'm also a fan of how they're keeping the action combat alive through Judgment while continuing on with the turn-based combat with the main series. I love both gameplay styles, so I welcome the variety. Nice to see a third battle style in the sequel too. But combat aside, it's pretty hype that you can seemingly skateboard around the city at will now. ? I'm also loving the new traversal options like wall running and climbing. It really emphasises Yagami's agility. I hope they tone down the tailing sequences in this one because it did get a bit much in the original. The game looks amazing overall. Pretty cool that they're making all future entries of Judgment and Yakuza a worldwide release. Will definitely be a day one purchase for me. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgrave Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Nice to see that we're getting a Judgment sequel, which feels like good timing for me since I just got the Platinum in the first Judgment ? But it looks like there will be more to explore and I'm glad to see that Yokohama is making a return since I liked it from Yakuza 7. It also looks like you get a skateboard to travel around faster which is nice. I just hope the Keihin Gang doesn't make a return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
