He will also be leaving his role as Sega's chief creative officer, but will however remain at the company as creative director, Kotaku reported.
The Yakuza franchise had a successful 2020, with its remastered collection making it to the top ten in the UK charts and its latest entry, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, selling over 450,000 units in Asia in just a few months. This good performance boosted Sega's financial results for the 12 months ended March 31, 2020, with full-year sales reaching $3.4 billion.
