Yakuza 4 will be released in Europe and North America in Spring 2011, SEGA has confirmed.

The PS3 exclusive is the sequel to the 8/10 Yakuza 3, released in March.

"Set in a fully realised, authentic recreation of Tokyo's 'Sin-City district" the deep and interweaving crime drama of Yakuza 4 unfolds through the eyes of four unique and dangerous characters," says the official blurb.

"Playing as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, the loan shark Akiyama, escaped convict Saejima or detective Tanimura, players will need to survive the dangers and temptations of the Japanese underworld."
