At the Playstation Experience conference, Sega and Sony have announced that Yakuza 5 will be coming to the U.S. and Europe! You can read more details on the Sega blog post. Yakuza 4 and Yakuza: Dead Souls will also be made available on the PlayStation Network starting today. Sony’s Third Party Production team, which got a lot of request for the localization of Yakuza 5 from Sega fans, will apparently be involved in bringing the titles overseas. The blog post mentions that “Yakuza 5 will be available exclusive to PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in 2015”, so it’s not clear if it will be getting a retail release. But the fact that the game is being localized at all at this point in time is great news either way. We’ll of course be posting more details as they become available!
EDIT: Launch trailer can be watched below.
