  • 59

Yakuza 7 has been officially announced, its story will focus on a new protagonist, Kasuga Ichiban, and the game will ditch the brawler action packed combat in favor of team based turn based combat:

About the new system, translated from the game's website:

This work is a “live command RPG battle” that combines the fighting action of the “Ryu ga Gotoku” series with the RPG command system. 
It has evolved into a system where anyone can easily enjoy an exhilarating battle. 
In a completely renewed battle, Kasuga Ichiban and his friends thrive by selecting techniques with various effects such as attack, recovery, and assistance. 
Please enjoy a dynamic brawl full of realism with various enemies.

You can watch the announcement trailer below (it's in Japanese):

The game will come out in 2020 in the west.

cannot believe it.
turn based combat sucks, they are ruining their series if they do that.

But, the other system worked well enough, why?

personally I also feel it's a pretty strange change given they worked hard honing the combat in the previous titles, making it better and more complex with every iteration, only to change it with Yakuza 7... but probably they think the combat would grow stale at some point and decided to change it sooner than later. this are my 2 cents anyway
