This work realistically reproduces the state of madness and the streets during the bubble period.
Colorful characters and an excellent main story attract players.
Moreover, many sub-stories are full of speedruns.
This work was awarded with enthusiastic voices from many fans calling it the "masterpiece of the series."

December 1988. Kamurocho, an entertainment and red-light district in Tokyo, experienced an unprecedented level of prosperity.
A lot of gang groups started efforts to acquire interests of a large-scale urban redevelopment plan there.
Yet, the plan faced a difficult time due to a certain plot of land whose owner is unknown.
The plot was called the "empty plot of land." A struggle over the land led to a big battle involving eastern and western huge violence organizations and affected fates of two young men...
Now one age was over and two legends started.

The PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 version of the latest work of "Ryu ga Gotoku" series, which sold 7.5 million units in total, were finally released!

We are really honored to receive the Award of Excellence of the Japan Game Awards.

Thanks to supports from game fans, this work was awarded.
I would like to express our gratitude to the fans again.
I also want to express my respect for staffs, who kept on releasing the series under huge pressures.
The more works of the series are released, the heavier pressures they receive.

Reading comments from fans after the notice that this work was awarded, I found out many comments that this is the best in the series.
I really appreciate them as if I were moved to tears.
I was greatly encouraged to do a new challenge in the future.

Still, we must not be spoiled by the words.
We will devote ourselves to the series on a daily basis to return their favors and have game fans say the next work is the "best!"

Thank you indeed again.
Please do look forward to the next work!

Toshihiro Nagoshi
