The Yakuza studio is making a new action game set in 1915 Japan

Ryu Ga Gotoku never stops cooking. Revealed tonight at The Game Awards, Project Century is a new game set in 1915 Japan. That's about all we know about it right now, but it's probably safe to say Project Century is an action game (not a turn-based RPG) in the vein of classic Yakuza or, more recently, Judgement.

Other than the incredible new setting, a few other things stand out about Century. For one, the combat we saw in the trailer isn't instantly recognizable as the action we're used to in Yakuza/Judgement. Animations look way more fluid, there appears to be an Arkham-like counter system, and there's a noticeable lack of exaggerated particle effects.
