After about 30 years at PlayStation, what will you do immediately after leaving PlayStation? Well, if you were Shuhei Yoshida, you'd sign up for your first voice acting role, playing a green duck in a mascot game that's mostly about the not-quite Kazuma Kiryu helping “a living fingers to resolve many of her anger issues.”
In case you missed the party – my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail – Yoshida left the big blue brand earlier this week and got a beautiful cake that I think had his face on it , and plenty of strawberries. He's been there since the early '90s, but now he's gone and will be using all his expertise to play a man dressed as a green duck.

Yes, Yoshida has been announced as the Commitment Mascot Agency (Thanks IGN), the 2025 game will let players take on the role of former yakuza Michi, voiced by Takaya Kuroda – yes, that's the Japanese voice of Enter the Dragon protagonist Kazuma Kiryu – who comes to the aid of a very angry Finger. Played by Ayano Shibuya from “The Legend of Zelda” and “Honkai: Star Trail VA”.
Yoshida voices one of the many mascots the two meet in a cursed town where they try to form “the best agency in Japan” – a former mascot who looks like a green duck. A character named MonouGe is opening a gaming center. As of this writing, it's unclear whether MonouGe's gaming centers will be decked out in blue and be called something like “StationPlayers,” but that's interesting considering Kuroda Haruhiko plays Michi (a name similar to Kiryu's famous Onomichi mascot Ono). Michio), the probability is non-zero.

You can get a taste of the mellow tones of Yoshida, Kuroda, and Shibuya in the fresh trailer above, which also stars “Deadly Premonition” developer Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro as Kamizu-kun, a seemingly sensible bird priest. . Something about a small town curse.
I don't know about you, but this game is now on my Steam wishlist. Hopefully Yoshida's long-term future plans are just as interesting.
