Yakuza 4 dated for Western release

SEGA has dated Yakuza 4 for a western release, with Spring 2011 currently earmarked for the PS3 exclusive. "Set in a fully realised, authentic recreation of Tokyo's 'Sin-City district" the deep and interweaving crime drama of Yakuza 4 unfolds through the eyes of four unique and dangerous characters," says the pr. "Playing as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, the loan shark Akiyama, escaped convict Saejima or detective Tanimura, players will need to survive the dangers and temptations of the Japanese underworld." Sounds good, especially if it improves upon the excellent Yakuza 3. SEGA has dated Yakuza 4 for a western release, with Spring 2011 currently earmarked for the PS3 exclusive.
