ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
A major announcement pertaining to SEGA’s Yakuza franchise will be made tomorrow, according to the series’ official website.
Interestingly the announcement is on the main Yakuza portal and not on the website for the upcoming Yakuza 5. As such, it is likely the announcement relates to something other than the new game, with smart money on the rumored Yakuza 1 and 2 HD remakes.
The games turned up last week on SEGA of Japan’s release scheduled before being pulled offline.
Stay tuned for more information as soon as we get it.
