Veteran Yakuza producer and executive director Toshihiro Nagoshi will be stepping down from Sega s board of directors on April 1.
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.
Sega also announced a partnership with 1212 Entertainment and Wild Sheep Content to produce a new film based on the Yakuza franchise last September.
