Yakuza 0 is Coming to PlayStation 4 in January

The Yakuza franchise just never seems to be able to break the West properly. With Yakuza 5 appearing on PlayStation Plus throughout August though it will help bring the game to more people than it has done before. This seems to be a smart move as the release date for the first Western released Yakuza game to appear on PlayStation 4 has been announced.

Due out on January 24th in Europe and America, Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the first game. Hardly the most shocking news seeing as it’s called Yakuza 0. It will provide a look at returning characters in their earlier years such as Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, with Goro being playable for the first time in a core entry in the series. Now we just need to hope that Sega are nice enough to re-release the older games on PlayStation 4.
