Company Sega briefly commented on her plans for the near future with the publication of today’s financial report. One of the slides in the investor presentation was dedicated to recently announced adventure game Lost Judgment – the first development from the authors Yakuza, which will be released simultaneously around the world. The document states that the novelty is planned to be translated into nine languages. There is no Russian among them…
Starting September 24, 2023, the game will be available in Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish… She will be released immediately on Playstation 4, Xbox one, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X | S…
The first part of Judgment, which originally debuted in 2019 at Playstation 4, was also not translated into Russian, but after localization of last year’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon many domestic fans Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio hoped that Sega will start releasing all new team games in Russian in Russia.
In an interview GameMAG.ru produced by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Masayoshi Yokoyama so commented on the likelihood of further localizations of Yakuza:
“In the future, we will continue to look for opportunities to delight the Russian-speaking audience. Your support means a lot, so if you want to show your interest in our initiative, please play Yakuza: Like a Dragon!”
However, here it should be borne in mind that decisions to translate different games into certain languages are often made at the first stages of development, and Lost Judgment began to be made long before the premiere of the Russian version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Perhaps Sega will decide to please the Russian-speaking audience later – with the release of a detective adventure on PC (if this ever happens – the PC version has not been announced now).
