Yakuza 6 and the original Yakuza remake Yakuza Kiwami are coming to the West on PS4. The remake is due out in summer 2017 while Yakuza 6 will be out sometime in 2018.
Seems we are getting a few Yakuza games in the West on PS4 now. This gives me an excuse to try them out, I've heard good things about them and it seems like the good opportunity for me to get involved in the series.
My boyfriend is a huge fan of the Yakuza games but I have never tried them myself. I may have to look into trying them to see what they are like and what all the fuss is about.
