Sega's
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life releases exclusively for the PlayStation 4 today. That release date only applies to Europe and North America, as the game launched in Japan all the way back on December 8, 2016.
Yakuza 6 is the final chapter of Kiryu's, the series' main protagonist, story meaning that the journey that started thirteen years ago on PlayStation 2 will literally and ultimately end today.
The publisher has released a new accolades trailer for the game. It obviously features quotes from the critics' raving reviews, but it wouldn't be a trailer for a
Yakuza game without bizarre (but strangely addictive) minigames, using sharp swords, beating up criminals, throwing darts and even... a baby?!
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life currently sits at 83% on Metacritic with 80 reviews, meaning that players who own PlayStation 4 will have a chance to play not one (
God of War), but two excellent system exclusives in the span of just two weeks! The verdicts suggest that Sega has managed to craft a moving story with some gripping drama and relatable characters and an incredibly bittersweet ending.
From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game's blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is coming to the West exclusively for PlayStation 4 TODAY!
