As in a shitty Multiplayer game OR a game set in the 70s/80s covering the old wars mentioned?

Look...we wish it was about some prequel in the 70s and 80s....but deep in our hearts, we know it will be some RTS, mobile, mini game...CLAN WARS

Look deep within your heart, you know this to be true.

All I'll say is I'll put 100 hours into a clan wars game because I have no self control with this series.
 
Really hoping it's not a mobile game. It would be cool to see something like the Brutal Legend system. You get an overhead view and command your people down different streets towards the enemy, strategizing your moves. Then you can jump into the body of your commander and control them, then the combat would be real-time like Y0-6 and Judgement.
 
My immediate thought is Sakura Wars but Tojo & Friends

A Wars title makes sense thematically too given the events of Y7/8.

Feels like Sega is still playing the long game with this one.

I hope this not for mobile tho...
 
Turn Based Yakuza Strategy game incoming! 😉

Much like folks above I really hope this isn't some mobile or GaaS crap.

A Yakuza game set in 1960s - 1970s Japan would be pretty sweet though.
 
Many years ago Square Enix had a game called Triad Wars, which was a spinoff to Sleeping Dogs and players battled each other as different crime gangs on an open-world map.

Triad Wars
Yakuza Wars

Maybe the similarity ends here with the Wars title, but what if not? Dream big gentlemen.

Dammit. Fuck Square Enix for not continuing Sleeping Dogs.

Lol with who? United Front Games to my understanding isn't even in business any more.

That whole deal came about for Square to just publish

Oh, didn't know about that lol
I forgot they also announced making a live action movie with Donnie Yen, but nothing come about.
 
Damn I'd love for an open world yakuza game similar to GTA online, except instead of crews/hangs, you can make your own family or some shit.
 
Im getting horrible flashbacks to when another developer decided to waste all their budget on a multiplayer after they made a fantastic game called Sleeping Dogs. Give us fucking Judgment 3 nothing else.
 
Super Robot Wars, Advance Wars, Sakura Wars and I certainly forget some others, they're all Tactical RPGs or Turn based RTS...

Not exactly. Originally this game was a part of True Crime series, but Square didn't cared about that IP and rebranded it as its own thing when they picked it up from Activision. To my understanding they still own that IP and can do whatever they wish with it, even without United Front Games involvement
 
Maybe it's a turn based strategy game + dating sim like Sakura Wars? Joking here, but at the same time, not 100 sure…. Honestly I'd want action focused beat them up with actual yakuza factions duking out backstory.

Either way, am interested. Maybe RPG route is taking more time and money than what they expected?

? Not exactly what?

All I'm saying is United Front Games doesn't exist to do the game, Square came about merely to publisher, they don't own the team and I even state "by who" as in, WHO WOULD SQUARE contract to do some sequel or something.

So yes, I know Square owns the IP, I was never debating any of that btw.

So when I'm saying by who, I mean who would they contract as the team that originally did it, no longer exist and this IP was not started from Square ground up, as in Square internally wanted it and created it or something, they picked it up and salvaged it. With deals like that (sorta like Rockstar and LA Noire)

its hard to see HOW such a series continue because some of those elements are out of the hands of the publisher, like original team and they didn't come up with the concept internally, but took it over from another publisher.


So those types of deals can be tricky as they now need to find a new team and who knows if they even want to be in that business of making that IP in the first place, so its hard to tell with deals like this.

The user you quoted wasn't happy with Square Enix's decision to not do anything with Sleeping Dogs IP and you said United Front Games is no more so they couldn't do anything with it which is not true as if they really wanted to they could either form a new studio and hire formers devs, or contract someone else to work on that brand. They didn't as they probably thought it wouldn't sell as much as they wanted

Also, original team did had a concept for a sequel, a separate thing beside Triad Wars thing. It was a direct sequel continuing Wei's story as a cop and was meant to introduce a second playable character. If I remember correctly they planned to use the same setting, but they wanted to expand the map beyond Hong Kong and explore other areas in Pearl River Delta. It was in very early stages of development and Square decided to pull a plug on it due to first game's sales
