Lost Judgment, leading to reports that a sequel was in development. According to
Yakuza fansite Tojo Dojo,
Lost Judgment will be much darker and will see Yagami and Kaito return. The leaked PSN screenshot of the game’s cover features Yagami so we know that part of the report is true as well.
Gematsu’s translation of the screenshot reveals that the game is titled
Lost Judgment: Sabakarezaru Kioku (
Lost Judgment: Unjudged Memory) in Japan, and it’ll release on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The website also found the following editions listed on the store page:

Judgment is Officially Getting A Sequel, Lost Judgment
2019’s equally-entertaining, equally-gripping spin-off in the Yakuza universe in the form of self-styled “courtroom drama” Judgment is getting itself a sequel. Unveiled earlier today during a “Judgment Day” livestream, Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku made it official, following an earlier leak of the Japanese PlayStation store, which seemed to all-but-confirm the name and indeed the existence of the game. Takayuki Yagami, the main protagonist of the first game, returns for the sequel with what the game bills as a “story of revenge [leading] to a fabric of conspiracies in which various factions want to take advantage of the broken legal system”.

It s called Lost Judgment, but it s worth remembering that Judgment was named Judge Eyes in Japan, so this might not be the title that we get here in the West.
According to the page, it s releasing in September this year (again, this could just be for Japan), and it s coming to both PS5 and PS4.
In any case, it all lines up with the Lost Judgment trademark that SEGA registered back in March. At the time, we wrote that we weren t entirely convinced that it was related to Judgment it could have been anything! but here we are.
Judgment‘s sequel has already been teased in recent times, with the game’s official Twitter account releasing footage that fans noticed wasn’t from the original game. The original also received a recent next-gen upgrade to PlayStation 5 and a full release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Stadia, hinting that SEGA wants to give everyone the chance to catch up with the story before
Lost Judgment‘s debut.
Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio,
Judgment follows the story of lawyer-turned-detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates a corpse that had its eyes removed. A contrast to the studio’s usual work with crime families in the
