PlayStation 3/PlayStation 4 game, in the video.
The game will Steam on February 22, 2023. The game's previous version, Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!, has not been previously released in the West. The new version will utilize the Unreal Engine 4, a first from developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
Sony describes the story:
In 1860s Kyo, a solemn samurai's fight for justice stands to change the course of Japan's history forever. Draw your blade and the revolution in this heated historical adventure.
Sega of America Global Community Manager David Hinds explained that "Kyo" is a fictional version of Kyoto.
The game featured a new "legendary Dragon" — the real-life historical figure Sakamoto Ryōma (who looks like Kazuma Kiryu). Sakamoto helped lead the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate that led to Japan's Meiji Restoration. Characters from the Yakuza franchise appear in the game as real historical characters.
Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin! shipped in Japan in February 2014 for both the PS3 and PS4.
