A new Yakuza title is in the works, series general director Toshihiro Nagoshi confirmed during the Famitsu Awards 2016.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life won an Excellence Award from the publication, and during the creator interview with Nagoshi, Famitsu editor-in-chief Katsuhiko Hayashi asked about the next entry in the series. Here’s what Nagoshi had to say:

• As long as Yakuza 6 is labeled “the final chapter of Kazuma Kiryu,” we won’t be saying anything like, “just kidding!”
• One of the keywords is that I want to create a new Yakuza.
• I don’t think it’s necessary to narrow it down to a single title. It may be multiple titles.
• We created the Dragon Engine with Yakuza 6, but the game engine itself will be completed with the development of a second or third title.
• I’m already working on the next title. In the not too distant future… I think there will be an opportunity to talk about the next game’s development in a relatively early stage.

The most recent entry in the series, Yakuza 6, launched for PlayStation 4 in Japan in December 2016, and will launch in North America and Europe in early 2018. But before that, Yakuza: Kiwami will launch in the west on August 29.

It's a good idea to start fresh with this series. This time they could activity try to attract a bigger fanbase in west and we know west is very responsive to reboots

I enjoyed starting the series with yakuza 0. Very solid series which deserves praise

I would like them to localize Yakuza Ishin as well.

Maybe they're making Yakuza 2: Kiwami?

Sega is underestimating it too much to warrant an enlgish release. 

Although, because of Asian makets. it offset the decline of Yakuza 6 in Japan. I read somewhere that Sega wants to put an english tranlation immediately for Asian markets.
