Fist of the North Star game in the vein of Yakuza announced

Sega recently announced a new Hokuto no Ken, also known as Fist of the North Star in the west,  game that’s being developed by the same team that brought us the popular Yakuza series.  The game seems to a brawler, but also perhaps a bit of open-world (read open-city).

For those new to the FotNS series, it’s basically like Mad Max and Bruce Lee had an amazing baby.  It’s off the wall post apocalyptic action coupled with some hilarious gore.

It would also appear the game will feature strange mini games much like Yakuza.

Sadly, no date or release window were given, but I’m sure we can assume it’s not coming out this year.  As a fan of the anime and some of the games, I’m definitely looking forward to see how wacky this game is going to get.
