Sega Confirm Yakuza 3 For Western Release

Holy hell, Jesus on rollerskates, Sega has announced and confirmed and everything else that goes with it, that Yakuza 3 is heading to the West, which means the US and Europe, and will arrive in March 2010. Sega Europe's Marketing Director, Gary Knight commented:

“Yakuza 3 was one of the most requested titles for localization by our European SEGA community, so we are delighted to be able to fulfil their wishes with this announcement."

“As well as delving even further into the rich narrative of the Yakuza universe, the development team have pushed the PlayStation 3 hardware to the limits to produce a beautiful and startlingly realistic depiction of the Japanese underworld.”

Set phasers to stunned. We thought it would never happen. It'll be sub-titled in English to maintain the proper, authentic feel.
