Like a Dragon: Kenzan! Fan Translation Confirmed AI-Free

A fan translation for Like a Dragon: Kenzan!, the 2008 PS3 exclusive spin-off of the Yakuza series, has been completed without the use of AI tools. The patch comes from the same team that produced last year's translation of the related title Ishin!, and lets English speakers experience the jidaigeki-themed game for the first time, 18 years after its Japan-only release. Yakuza producers Masayoshi Yokoyama and Hiroyuki Sakamoto have reportedly indicated there are no plans to remake Kenzan! for modern platforms, unlike Ishin!.
