1Up.com is reporting that Yakuza 3 is finally being localized for North American and European territories.
Just a few days ago Sega rep Aaron Webber commented that the possibility of Yakuza 3 coming to the U.S. still exists and that it’s a subject discussed quite often at Sega. Today we can do one better: we’ve learned that the PS3 exclusive is indeed coming west. According to sources close to the project, Yakuza 3 is currently being localized for release in the U.S. and European markets.
The delay for Yakuza 3 had been Sony’s policy that games must have localized audio language files in PlayStation 3 games; subtitled English would not be permitted.
Let us know what you think.
