"According to 2chan, the latest issue of Famitsu quotes Yakuza series director Toshihiro Nagoshi as stating that the game is a direct sequel to Yakuza 2, and is in development exclusively for PS3. In the same article, Nagoshi states that Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! is actually considered a spin-off from the "main" Ryu ga Gotoku series."

"Details announced in the latest issue of Famitsu say the adventure game will take place in 1605 Japan -- the Edo period -- and players will lead the charge as Japan's most famous swordsman and the author of the Book of Five Rings Musashi Miyamoto. Bringing down the bad guys will mean implementing four fighting styles -- weaponless, one sword, two sword, and broadsword -- and a number of special moves."
