Yakuza 6 arrives in December, but Toshihiro Nagoshi won't stop there: a new Yakuza 0 prequel arrives to PS4 on Jan. 24, 2017. Yakuza 0, as its number designation suggests, will take place in the past – Tokyo circa 1988 to be exact.
It was a simpler time back then. Check out the description from the Yakuza 0 trailer on YouTube:
"Tokyo 1988. Getting rich is easy, the women are beautiful, and everyone wants in on the action. It's time to become Yakuza."
That sounds simple enough. Except it isn't. Our 20-year-old protagonist Kazuma Kiryu had just joined the Dojima Family, one of the most powerful yakuza syndicates of Kamurocho, Tokyo's red-light district. Kiryu's first job was to collect a 300k Yen debt from a nobody that owes the yakuza money.
The job was easy enough... until Kiryu later learned the guy that he knocked around a little turned up dead in a plot of land that the yakuza planned for a massive redevelopment project . Now, both the yakuza and the cops want him to track him down. Obviously, Kiryu is racing to get to the bottom of the truth, but it won't be easy.
Yakuza 0 hits your PS4 on Jan. 24, 2017. It is available for pre-order now!
