Yakuza 5

The Yakuza series backlog is slowly making its way to the PlayStation 4, with remakes of the first two games having released on the system and remasters of Yakuza 3-5 either announced or released. Yakuza 5 Remaster comes out this June in Japan, and today Sega released several screenshots to show off the game, many highlighting the series’ offbeat minigames and the day-to-day lives of the characters.

The screens highlight some of the more mundane things the cast get caught up in, namely getting stuck in a taxi job and having to do fares, as well as some batting practice. It gets a bit more wild though, with pop idol minigames that include karaoke and dance-offs, and fighting bears in the deep forest. The series director says he wants to take the series in a different direction for the future, but you can revisit some of its past with these screenshots in the gallery below.

Yakuza 5 releases on June 20th for PlayStation 4 in Japan. As of now, there’s no western release date announced.
