Yakuza 7 announced with menu-based combat and new Yokohama setting www.theverge.com

The next major entry in the Yakuza series has been revealed in Japan, and Sega is seriously shaking things up.
Ryu ga Gotoku 7, which will likely be called Yakuza 7 in the West, has a new main character, a new setting, and a totally new combat system.
According to Japanese games site Game Watch, which has been reporting on the press conference, the play area will be three times bigger than the district of Kamurocho that featured in every previous mainline Yakuza game.
The Yakuza games have always essentially been JRPGs, and now the connection is even clearer.
It’ll be playable at Tokyo Game Show next month.
