Judgment is the latest new intellectual property by Sega and Yakuza Studio, and it's already been revealed that this new series will actually be taking place in the same universe as the acclaimed Yakuza series.
The game is not only a
Yakuza spin-off, but it is also borrowing some of the best elements from the acclaimed series; namely the Dragon graphics engine, combat system, and overall setting for
Judgment's story; making the game quite familiar for players who have already experienced all 7
Yakuza titles.
One of the things that Sega and Yakuza Studio set out to do with
Judgment was to give players the choice to listen to the game's dialogues in English — which is something that the Yakuza series did not do — and they have recently been releasing videos introducing us to the voice actors.
The latest video for
Judgment introduces us to Matt Yang King, who will be voicing a shady character called Kazuya Ayabe; a mysterious character that knows his place within the game's world and is comfortable being the underdog, or does he?
