Kinda weird that it's meant for people who own Kiwami 2, but you you can answer in one of the questions that you don't have a ps4, seeing as it's a ps4 only game. I suppose you could've rented one, hypothetically, but then it's unlikely you own the game.

Thanks for the heads up.

iirc there was a similar survey when Yakuza 6 launched, which asked a similar question about Hokuto ga Gotoku & RgG Online.

EDITED TO ADD:
Survey also asks if you're interested in buying:
"remasters / remakes of existing Yakuza games" [i.e. the 3-5 remasters*]
"new games set in the world of Yakuza" [i.e. Shin (new) RgG or whatever it ends up being called]
"games created by the Yakuza team in other worlds, like the upcoming Fist of the North Star game" [possibly implies some other in-production but not-yet-announced RgG Studio project]
as well as
"various spin-off titles that have never received Western releases" which besides Kenzan & Ishin includes the two Kurohyo spinoffs on PSP.

* Oh, and a current-gen port of Dead Souls I suppose.

So basically, Ishin and Kenzan confirmed.

Kiwami 2 is a PS4 exclusive* (*for the time being). That being said, I'm surprised they're going to 'remaster' Isshin, wasn't that already on the PS4, more specifically the first PS4 Yakuza? They might be coming out when the PS5 hits the market if they're going to use the term "remaster" for a current gen game.

In any case, looks like Sega is finally expanding Yakuza in the west. The PC versions of 0 and Kiwami and now Kenzan/Isshin coming to the west seems to imply that. Here's hoping they stick to their word and keep the games "Japanese" at the core, as opposed to westernizing them...

If Black Panther gets localized the guys doing the english patch are gonna be very disappointed. They've been at it for like 8 years.

Talk of Ishin being "remastered" looks like a garbling by the OP. This survey is being presumably done by the marketing department of Sega's Western operation so what they have to work with is what RgG studios have already made or are working on.

Sega could always buy the patch from them, less work for Sega.

Companies don't buy assets from modders, even if it makes sense, it's just not kosher.

This is Sega though, the company that hired a Sonic modder who eventually made the best game in that series.

Well, "GIVE THEM TO ME NOW!" but, yeah, link to survey is in the article linked in the OP.

Real question is, how quickly will Sega's marketing department work out that it's being brigaded & how will this affect how much importance they attach to the results?
