PC/Mobile Yakuza: Like a Dragon looks to be headed for Steam

[LEGEND67]

Despite the Yakuza series' recent popularity, there aren't many Yakuza games on Steam: Just Yakuza 0 (which is excellent), Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2. Last summer, series producer Daisuke Sato hinted at possible PC releases of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5, which haven't actually happened yet. But it looks very much like Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon, the most recent game, is headed to Steam.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon isn't listed on Steam yet, but it does now appear in SteamDB, which tracks games on the platform including those in a pre-release state. There's no information about a release date, but it's possible that it could come at the same time as, or very close to, the western PlayStation 4 launch.

A date for that hasn't been set yet either—Yakuza: Like a Dragon was released in Japan in January, but a worldwide release date hasn't been announced. It could also mean that we might get our hands on the new Yakuza before the old ones.
And in case you're wondering what happened to the "7" in the title, it was dropped last year.

Game's combat system change to rpg battle system is good, but alas I don't like the protag's hair design and too gung ho personality.

I don't have steam but this looks fairly awkward as a game I personally would like to play. I can't see myself getting into the story line. I feel like they didn't take their time on it either as the cut scenes do seem a bit rushed. Would be nice as well if they showed some gameplay footage as there wasn't any in the preview.
