The new Yakuza trailer shows off a bit of story but the main focus lies on the gameplay which looks rather smooth.
Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the rest of the series and is set in 1988. For the first time, it tells the full story of how series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu rose through the ranks of the Yakuza. Fan-favourite character Goro Majima, the Mad Dog of Shimano, is also playable and has his own unique moveset.
The Ryu Ga Gotoko franchise’s trademark action combat returns to punctuate an underworld crime drama, as does the franchise’s third major selling point is the lavishly detailed cityscape of Kamurocho. Building on Shenmue’s open-world foundation, the Yakuza series is famous for its setting, which features loads of shops and arcades and all other sorts of amusements, an astoundingly large number of which are interactive.
Yakuza 0 releases in 2017 for PS4, including at retail in North America.
Check out the Trailer:
“This latest trailer shows us some more of Yakuza 0’s distinctly Japanese pastimes, like talking to a sex worker at one of those “Telephone Clubs” where all you do is talk to women on a phone who you observe behind glass (like visiting someone in prison), because that’s a thing over there. Look carefully at the 1.07 mark of the trailer and see a flustered Kiryu ponder if he should ask this woman about baby ferrets, your blue feathers, your bath faucet, or your best feature. No one said being a gangster was going to be easy.”
