Toshihiro Nagoshi, creator of Yakuza, and Daisuke Sato, producer of the series for several years, they leave SEGA. Both workers leave Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, a studio in which there is already a new organization.
In a new statement shared by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, this news and some more details of the future of the studio have been reported. Nagoshi thanked Yakuza fans for their support and hinted that trust new people who will be in charge of the study and the saga: “Starting today, a new Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio where the series will live “.
“Although I am not sure what they will create, I believe that the new generation will further enhance the foundation we have built over the years and will offer excellent games to the world. To do this, they too need to continue to learn, challenge themselves, and grow. I ask that you continue to support the efforts of the study, “said Nagoshi.
Sato has been sorry to leave, but also has faith in Ryu Ga Gotoku: “I think the studio has the power not only to continue the Yakuza series, but also to continue that momentum even further. The talented studio staff is very capable of accomplishing this, so I can leave it to your care with trust“, explained the Japanese creative.

The director of the studio, Masayoshi Yokoyama, has asked fans to continue to trust them and that they have proof that things will go well with Lost Judgment (although the game is not on PC due to curious problems), something that we will also see in the sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. As for the Yakuza saga, Ryosuke Horii is the chief director, Hiroyuki Sakamoto the chief producer, and Nobuaki Mitake the art director.
