Ryu ga Gotoku 3 heading to Japan spring 2009

Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza in the west) Kenzan was not the third game, it was a spin-off. It seems that Nagoshi isn’t going to rest after just launching Kenzan this year. He is already working on the follow up to Ryu ga Gotoku 2, even though we are barely getting it over here this September.
Ryu ga Gotoku 3 will take place two years after the events of Ryu ga Gotoku 2. All the living characters in the previous game will make their return and there will also be introduction to new characters, some suggested were other cultures. So we might see Americans and other nationalities in the game. The new game will also have a lot more brand tie-ins, like the first one had real coffee brand shops (Boss Coffee) in the city. This is to add to the realism. The voice work will be a all star cast rivaling that of Kenzan! Setting for the game will return to Kamurocho district, Osaka, and new comer Okinawa. Its going to be pretty interesting looking at the old cities on a next gen console.
This game is guaranteed to blow the previous games out of the water. Lets hope it gets localized sooner than the previous titles. Like the previous title, this seems to be a Playstation 3 only affair.
