All Articles: Yakuza Zero

Sega announced the latest game in the Yakuza series, Yakuza Zero, over the weekend for the PS3 and PS4. For now, that’s all we know, though Sega did promise to reveal more about the game during next month’s Tokyo Game Show.

Sega has released ten games in the Yakuza series, but only five have made their way to America (2012’s Yakuza: Dead Souls was the most recent). A pair of spinoffs that focus on the ancestors of main character Kazuma Kiryu, a pair of PSP adventures that focus on side characters, and Yakuza 5, the fifth game in the “main series” remain exclusive to Japan (where the series is known as “Like A Dragon” because of Kiryu’s elaborate tattoo). Because of this release history, it’s unknown if Sega has any plans to localize Yakuza Zero.

Hopefully the answer is yes, and hopefully we’ll find out next month.
