Yakuza 6 and a remake of the original Yakuza have been announced.

At the Sony pre-Tokyo Game Show briefing, it was revealed by series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi that Yakuza 6 is currently in development exclusively for the Playstation 4.

It is slated for a autumn 2016 release in Japan.

It is unclear if there are any plans for localisation and a release outside of Japan.

The remake of the original Yakuza, Yakuza: Kiwami, will release for PS3 and PS4 in Japan on January 21, 2016.

Nagoshi outlined that the remake would include gameplay elements not possible on Playstation 2 hardware when the game was first released in 2005.

The Yakuza remake will reportedly contain a demo for Yakuza 6.
