Sega has this week released 11 minutes of gameplay from the new upcoming Yakuza 6 game, which is expanding the series by series director Toshihiro Nagoshi to seven titles. This highly anticipated game continues the legacy of the Yakuza series, known for its intricate storytelling, dynamic characters, and immersive open-world experience.
Gameplay and Features
Check out the, albeit fairly low quality footage from the latest development stage of the Yakuza 6 game that will feature Japanese director and actor Takeshi ‘Beat’ Kitano in a supporting role. Kitano’s involvement adds a layer of authenticity and excitement, as he is a well-respected figure in Japanese cinema and television. His character is expected to bring a unique depth to the storyline, enhancing the overall narrative experience.
The gameplay footage showcases the vibrant and bustling streets of Tokyo’s Kamurocho district, a fictionalized version of Kabukicho, Shinjuku’s famous red-light district. Players can expect to engage in a variety of activities, from intense street brawls to leisurely mini-games, all while navigating the complex web of Yakuza politics and personal vendettas. The combat system appears to be more fluid and responsive, with new moves and abilities that players can unlock as they progress through the game.
Demo Release and Availability
A Yakuza 6 demo will be made available later this week on January 28th for those gamers that have purchased Yakuza: Kiwami for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on or after it launched in Japan early this month on January 21st, 2016. The Gematsu website explains:
The demo puts players in control of Kazuma Kiryu, who can walk around Tokyo’s Kamurocho district and experience drama scenes and battles. This early access allows fans to get a taste of the new mechanics and story elements before the full game release. It also provides valuable feedback to the developers, helping them fine-tune the game based on player experiences and suggestions.
Yakuza 6 will be launching sometime during 2016 and offers an open-world action-adventure game which has been exclusively designed for the PlayStation 4. This exclusivity ensures that the game can fully utilize the hardware capabilities of the PS4, delivering stunning graphics, seamless gameplay, and a richly detailed environment. The developers have promised that Yakuza 6 will push the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the series, with more interactive elements, a deeper storyline, and enhanced character development.
As more details and gameplay footage are released in the coming months, we will keep you updated as always. Fans of the series can look forward to a game that not only continues the legacy of its predecessors but also introduces new elements that will keep both new and returning players engaged. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, Yakuza 6 promises to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience.
