Detective game Judgment from developer Yakuza series gets western release

Sega has announced that Judgment, the latest game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, will be released in North America and Europe. The game will have an English voicecast and will be released in the summer of 2019.

Sega has shared the English-language trailer of Judgment via YouTube. It is the first time since 2006 that a game by Ryu Ga Gotoku has received English-language votes. That was for the original Yakuza for the Playstation 2. In the western release, players can also convert the voices to the Japanese version with English subtitles.

Judgment follows a lawyer on the hunt for a serial killer. For that, he must gather evidence and information from various witnesses and suspects. Like the Yakuza games, Judgment features the street fights that gave the former games their fame. The game doesn’t have a definitive release date for the western release yet and can be played exclusively on the PlayStation 4. Judgment will be released on December 13 in Japan.
