We don't really know when Shin Yakuza is coming or what form it's going to take. They might be saving it for next-gen.
It hasn't even been formally announced yet. Assuming it'll be ready this year because it's supposed to take place in 2018 is premature at best.
Binary Domain was so solid and fun that I would love to see them take on another shooter, but I figure it will be something else entirely.
I recall before Yakuza: Deal Souls was announced they teased that they wanted to do a zombie game and something in space eventually. People generally ignored it because it seemed too wacky, but I could see something like that being their new IP.

Yakuza games have quick turnover in announcement and release (September reveal, December or early next year release). Usuallly the games take place in the year of release.
I'm aware that that's the kind of timing they usually try to go for, but considering Nagoshi has been saying Shin is meant to be a soft reboot of the series in a lot of ways and we haven't really seen anything of it since the initial reveal, I think there's a fairly good chance it'll miss 2018.
A man can dream!
Been playing through Yakuza 0 recently and Kiwami next so I'm up for anything they make
How exciting! Always up for new games from these talented guys. I'm liking this new CEO, he's greenlit all the right things so far. About time this team got to try something new again. Spikeout, Super Monkey Ball and Binary Domain were also all from the same dev team, so looking forward to this.
Don't forget F-Zero GX, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio (Future) and Gunvalkyrie.
So that team for the past 10 years has been stuck making Yakuza games excluding that one fling with Binary Domain? That's a serious misuse of talent. No matter how good the Yakuza games are sticking to one series for so long is lame.
Yeah you're right, they're former Smilebit devs as well aren't they? Forgot about that! Makes it even more exciting then! They're probably my favourite SEGA developer of all time. And that's saying something.
All of these and Golgo 13 ga gotoku
they also did the newer Monkey Ball games, and some of the devs that got sick of Yakuza game went to mobile games (War Pirates, Shin Megami Tensei Liberation)
they enjoy making the yakuza games despite their limits tough, you can see the passion and how much content they have.
I'd love some kind of spiritual successor to Binary Domain. They should totally going back to that style of game
I'm down for whatever they want to make though

It's too hard to think about what they would do that isn't a Yakuza or Binary Domain game. Some sort of RPG? Has to be something that makes financial sense.
oh sorry, im not good with sarcasm and things like that ahah
The shooting in Binary Domain is legit good.
Thanks, now I'm gonna have to live with the disappointment that it won't be this when it's announced.
Cellphone game is Yakuza Online. It's more likely a multiplatform title like Binary Domain, not exclusive like Yakuza. That's just me guessing though.
