I now have another reason for wanting to get this year over with for one more reason; it will put us members of the PC Master Race closer to obtaining all of the totally serious crime drama that is The Yakuza Series.
Sega today announced that the rest of the main Yakuza games – that’s 3, 4, 5, and 6 – will come to PC next year. That is, by my estimation, about 8000 hours of Kiryu helping strangers with emotional quandaries and absolutely decking villains. Hell yeah. They’ll all be covered by Xbox Game Pass For PC too.
I’ve been enjoying Kiwami during my weekends, and I was already planning on picking up Kiwami 2 and Like A Dragon during future sales. Now it looks like I’ll have to collect the entire series! I’ve been having fun talking about Kiwami at work with one of the few co-workers that I know who has actually played the series. I’m actually surprised the Yakuza titles aren’t more well known at this point considering the PS4 remasters have been around for awhile at this point; we’ve even sold them at work. Most of the people I talk games with at work are Playstation users too, how does that even work? O_o
