The Yakuza franchise has been gradually making its way west, but two games that are missing from the collection are Yakuza: Ishin and Yakuza Kenzan. In an interview with JPGames, Yakuza Producer Daisuke Sato said he?d still like to localise the games for the west, but both games would now have to be remade rather than simply ported.
The reason the spinoff games haven?t yet appeared in the west is simply a matter of timing. When they were first released in Japan, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio was busy capitalising on the success of the western release of Yakuza 0. Sato stated this was vital for ?regaining our ground with the series in the West? as it paved the way for the re-release of more of the mainline games. Unfortunately, this meant an ideal window for the Ishin and Kenzan localisations never materialised, publisher SEGA clearly stating they had no plans to release Ishin in the west at the time.
