SEGA has made the dreams of Western Yakuza fans come true, as the publisher just announced that open-world action adventure game Yakuza 4 will be releasing in the West in the Spring of 2011, exclusively on the PlayStation 3, following its successful launch in Japan earlier this year.

Yakuza 4 not only features the continued adventures of series protagonist Kiryu Kazuma, but three other playable characters as well, each of them with their own backstory that is woven into the overarching plot.

If you have any questions for Yakuza series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi, you can head on over to the official SEGA blog and write a query in the comments section for him. Your question may be chosen to be put to Nagoshi when the SEGA team speaks with him following E3 next week.
