Yakuza Kiwami will be launching at the end of this month and bringing the original game back in remade form, but today we’re learning that the next game in the series now has a western release date. Sega has announced that Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will launch in the west on March 20th, 2018 on PlayStation 4 for $59.99.
Those who pre-order the game or purchase it at launch will be getting a hardcover art book that doubles as the disc holder for the game. This will be accompanied by an “After Hours Premium Edition” that will cost $89.99 and comes with the following items:
- Hardcover Art Book – The intense human drama and magnetic world of Yakuza 6 will be on display in this stunning art book. We’ll have more details on what will fill the pages at a later date.
- 2 Bar Glasses (280ml) – Designed with Kiryu’s ferocious dragon tattoo, these bar glasses are the perfect receptacles for your beverage of choice.
- 2 Ice Stones – Cool down your drinks with a pair of heat action branded ice stones! One features the flame heat action icon, while the other has the Japanese “kiwami” heat action icon. Chilling has never been so… extreme.
- 2 Coasters – A true yakuza knows how to relax with class, so coasters are a must have when lounging after hours. Protect table surfaces with style by placing your glasses on top of official Tojo Clan branded coasters. Plus, you won’t need to play the “is this my drink?” game because of their inverted colors!
- An Outer Box – All of these essential tools will be housed within a collectible outer box.
Yakuza 6 will perhaps be the most highly-anticipated game in the series yet, especially after the newfound success it has been enjoying outside of Japan. It will be the first game in the series that was developed from the ground up for PlayStation 4, which will bring many innovations to the gameplay. It will also be the first time in the series where every line of dialogue will be fully voiced, which is definitely welcomed.
Yakuza 0 launched exclusively for PlayStation 4 earlier this year and was very well-received, and it looks like Yakuza Kiwami will receive a similar reception when it launches later this month. That will launch on August 29th, and you can expect our review of the game in the near future.
