New screenshots of Sega's open-world Japanese mobster-fighting adventure, Yakuza 3, have been released, teasing the game's March-due arrival in North American and Europe while serving as another reminder that Japan gets Yakuza 4 around the same time.
Released in Japan and South East Asia back in February of 2009 as Ryu ga Gotuku 3 (Like a Dragon 3), Yakuza 3 sees series protagonist Kiryu Kazuma locking horns with the criminal underworld to protect an orphanage he's running with his adopted daughter.
Set in fictionalized versions of Tokyo cities Kabukicho and Okinawa that feature real-life landmarks and location tie-ins, the PlayStation 3 exclusive received the "Award for excellence" in 2009's Japan Game Awards' "Games of the Year Division."
