Hey everyone!
Aaron Webber here again – some of you may remember me from the
Valkyria Chronicles 2blog post a while back. This time, I have the privilege of bringing you
guys some more exciting news – news that I know many of you are about
to be extremely excited about!
After months upon months of requests, a myriad of rumors, and even
full campaigns that speak to the unparalleled dedication of the fans,
we can finally speak those words that all of you have been waiting
anxiously to hear. So, here they are:
Yakuza 3 is coming West. Featuring the original all-star Japanese voice cast and subtitled in English,
Yakuza 3 chronicles the next steps in the life of the man once known as the
Dragon of Dojima – Kiryu Kazuma.
As Kiryu works to begin a new life running an orphanage in Okinawa,
the world he left behind in Tokyo also moves quickly. When the chairman
of the Tojo clan is shot and the rivalry between the families plunges
the city into chaos, even Okinawa is not far enough away to escape the
grasp of the mysterious forces pulling the strings.
Then, when one of Kiryu’s close friends in Okinawa is found with
multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, things take a new turn for the
worse. Driven to protect his friends, the Dragon is alive again – Kiryu
returns to the dark city of Kamurocho, and will stop at nothing to find
those responsible and give them his own taste of justice.
Releasing March 2010, the epic
Yakuza saga continues, exclusively on the
PlayStation 3.
Last but not least, we’d like to give special thanks to you guys, the
Yakuzafans! Your passion and dedication has helped make this a reality, and
we’d like to extend that thanks by letting you submit questions to the

Yakuza 3 has to offer very soon. Spread the word –
