Creator and director of the "Yakuza" series Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed that Sega is planning to announce a new title at this year's Tokyo Game Show. "I'm so anxious for Tokyo Game Show," Nagoshi said during a NicoNico live stream, via Siliconera.
"Although I'm not allowed to say why I'm feeling this way, yet [sic]. We'll announce [a new title] at Tokyo Game Show, and it'll be a good one. And I believe that Sega's live showing at Tokyo Game Show will be the most exciting one we've seen in a while."
There are speculations that the announcement will be about a new entry in the "Yakuza" series. However, there is also a possibility that the upcoming game will be a new IP. The Tokyo Game Show 2015 will be from Sep. 17 to Sep. 20.
