yakuza 6

Among the many surprises at this year’s PlayStation Experience was the announcement that two of Sega’s recent Yakuza titles – Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life – would be heading to the West. While the former is out in Summer 2017, the latter will release in early 2018 for PlayStation 4.

Yakuza Kiwami is essentially a remake of the first game in the franchise (released during the PS2 era) featuring better textures, frame rate and resolution along with more refined story-telling. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is the most recent title and sees Kazuma Kiryu return to the criminal underworld to protect his family.
