My man.
July/August release, book it.

Judgement is probably being prepped to be a new franchise alongside Yakuza. Given the positive momentum that Yakuza has now in the west, having Judgement come out with an English dub for its first entry is really smart. They can try to ride that positive wave of Yakuza's success while building a new path.
Adapting the game for English audio generally means making additional localization compromises to facilitate natural sounding dialogue, and ultimately even playing with Japanese audio, you'll be reading a transliteration of the dubbed script. This isn't inherently an issue for me, but at times in games it leads some funky dissonance between text and native audio. As I previously said, I'll follow the game's development, but if I don't particularly care for how the dub is sounding, I might pass on the title.

Wow, this is crazy! This means that the English subtitles for the English dub will be different than the subtitles for the Japanese dub, so there won't be any situation where the subtitles won't match what they were saying because they had to take liberties with the dub. That's a lot of extra work and they will still manage to release the game just half a year later after the Japanese release. Rock on, Sega localization team!
Lol I don't understand ppl be on go mode everything a Japanese game gets a dubYou should probably check out the post directly above you.
They're doing two separate subtitle tracks. lol
I hope dual audio pays off for them. It seems risky and unnecessary from where I'm standing.

Yeah, I saw the post/tweet above mine the second the page reloaded. SEGA deserves props for this, because it's not a decision most companies would be willing to make.You should probably check out the post directly above you.

Yes, it even takes place in Kamurocho. Not sure if it will reference any events from the Yakuza games, though. It might be as "easter eggs" for fans of the series but outside of that it will be fully playable and understandable even if people didn't play the Yakuza games. It's an entirely new IP.
Is this in the same world as Yakuza? That kind of looked like kazuma doing the dropkick

Yeah definitely. Since Yakuza is also at a point in the story that is prime for people to jump into the series as well (I'd say more than 0 even), I can easily see Shin Yakuza or whatever it'll be called having a dub as well.Judgement is probably being prepped to be a new franchise alongside Yakuza.

Oh man this is nice.
I will play my first playthrough with Japanese for sure but I'd like to play the game with English VA on my second run. Also this will help get more people into the game which is super cool.
