You might ask “What style, exactly?” Yakuza Kiwami lets you be the badass that you wanna be. If Mr. Dwayne Johnson were Japanese, his name would be Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza Kiwami lets you put #bootstoasses and if that is not enough, put fists to faces, motorcycles to bodies or whatever you should fancy. The original Yakuza let you get mean; Yakuza Kiwami lets you get brutal.
Yakuza Kiwami does not bring the first installment in the series back until August 29th, but if you pre-order now, the Dragon of Dojima himself will grace your PS4 with a free theme! Majima is not happy that he was not included – beware because he can attack you from anywhere in this version of the game!
Oh, and be sure to check out the Yakuza Experience website, a Yakuza portal where the world of Yakuza can be explored via an interactive timeline and character map. It’s a great resource to use if you want to learn about the history, characters, and families in the series.
The site also features a 10-issue digital comic, starting with some of the key events of Yakuza 0 and taking you along for the ride all the way up to Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, coming to PS4 early next year.
Yakuza Kiwami is $29.99 and it will launch as a PlayStation 4 exclusive on August 29, 2017. This game is not just a remake of the original Yakuza – it is a complete overhaul. If you cannot wait that long, pick up Yakuza 0 now from your PS store or local retailer.
