Yakuza 0
Take a step back in time with this prequel to the Yakuza series. Set in 1988, Yakuza 0 tells the stories of both Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima as they carve their paths in life. With Kazuma trying to prove his innocence over a murder allegation and Goro living in exile, both men soon find themselves involved in a dispute known as “Vacant Lot”. This one dispute is drawing in all the of the Yakuza clans and is slowly becoming the centrepiece for the ultimate power struggle.
Going between the Kanto and Kansai regions, Yakuza 0 will be an open world for players to explore and discover. This title will also mark the first time that Goro will be a playable character in the series. Players will also face a new challenge in special enemies – called Mr Shakedown – who are stronger than standard enemies and will take players’ money if they are unable to win encounters. Players will also be able to adapt in battle, with the ability in Yakuza 0 to switch fighting styles mid-battle, with the two secret fight styles available on unlock through running in game businesses.
Yakuza 0 will be available on PlayStation 4 from January 24*
