In the course of a recently granted interview, Toshihiro Nagoshi has in fact offered a decidedly interesting statement. Despite having abandoned the role of CCO of SEGA, the creative is still active at full speed on the videogame production front and seems more than willing to experiment with new approaches. "The members of the Ryu Ga Gotoku team - he said - have in fact always worked only on the Yakuza series.

Certainly creating something of a completely different genre and in a different style could be a challenge for them. We are not sure yet, but there is something that we are currently seriously considering for the growth of our team. "
