Having already hinted at the of a new instalment in the franchise following the release of 3, confims a game is in the works

The latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu details Project K, a handheld instalment of crime series Yakuza. Kotaku has translated the important details.

The untitled games doesn't feature series star Kazuma Kiryu. Instead, you play as a young whippersnapper by the name of Tatsuya Ukyo who gets into all sorts of trouble in the seedy district of Kamurocho.

No release date has been set for the game (it doesn't even have final title, after all), but expect to hear more during E3 in June.
