‘Yakuza 6’ Gets A Release Date, Special Edition, And Totally Bonkers New Trailer

Waiting to find out when (or if) the latest Yakuza game is coming to North America is always tough, as Sega really likes to string along Western fans of the series. Case in point, Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life, which was originally released in Japan in December 2016 only now has a release date.

To celebrate, Sega has released a new trailer for Yakuza 6, and, as you might expect, it's completely bonkers. Of course you have the usual over-the-top brawling, but main character Kazuma Kiryu also takes selfies with a guy in an orange costume, goes spear-fishing, and struts around with a baby which may or may not be his. Here's Sega's official rundown for Yakuza 6:

Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima (and the main protagonist of Sega's long-running Yakuza franchise) will find out exactly how much people are willing to sacrifice for family – be those ties through blood or bond – when Yakuza 6: The Song of Life releases in the West.

The game is coming to consoles only on PlayStation 4, and thanks to the new "Dragon Engine," is the most advanced Yakuza title to date. From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game's blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.

Sega has also announced the Yakuza 6 After Hours Premium Edition, which includes bar classes, coasters, ice stones, and, of course, a nice case for your game. It package will cost a fairly-reasonable $90.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life hits PS4 on March 20, 2018.
