PlayStation exclusive Judgment will be released in the west on June 25, and also comes with a host of pre-order bonuses.

The Yakuza spin-off arrived in Japan last year, but comes west with a full English dub alongside the usual Japanese V/O and English subtitles.

Physical pre-orders will include a reversible cover featuring the Japanese cover art and a studio sticker.

Digital pre-orders will go live on March 7 and those who do choose to pay up front will get early access to the full game on June 21 and a static PlayStation theme.

Developed by Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios, Judgment describes itself as a courtroom thriller, action-adventure game and is set in Yakuza’s incredibly detailed Kamurocho district. Players will take control of Takayuki Yagami, an ex-defence attorney turned private detective - if the studio’s pedigree is anything to go by, we expect outlandish martial arts and maybe even more outlandish courtroom drama.

If you’re yet to pass judgment on, you know, Judgment, check out our massive preview from earlier this week, which we gleefully called “Yakuza + Ace Attorney”.
