The development and publishing teams at SEGA have released some screens of the upcoming Yakuza 5 which show the cast of characters of the new game in the series, including Goro Majima, Daigo Dojima, Yuu Morinaga, Masato Aizawa and Minoru Aoyama.

The Japanese Famitsu magazine has also revealed that Yakuza 5 will introduce a new element to the new moves that players learn during their narrative, with a complex side story attached to each of them in order to add emotional significance.

Yakuza 5 will be launched exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and will be available in Japan before the end of the year.

SEGA has not yet explained its publishing plans for a Western version of Yakuza 5, but given the way previous games in the series were handled, fans might get to play a localized version before the end of next year, although some elements of the game might be cut.
