It turns out that Yakuza: Dead Souls is indeed the spin-off title Yakuza of the End, which saw release in Japan back in June. The game sees characters from the Yakuza franchise battle a zombie outbreak in Tokyo, and it this time around it's more of a shooter than previous installations in the series.
"We know how much people love Yakuza in the West and with Dead Souls being the latest and greatest in the franchise, it is only right we bring it to them closer to the Japanese release than ever," says Sega's Gary Knight.
Yakuza: Dead Souls is set to hit Playstation 3 exclusively in March next year.
