SEGA Outlines Pre-Order Goodies For Yakuza: Dead Souls

Regular readers will know that we have a soft spot for the Yakuza series

Our soft spot extends so deeply, that we're willing to overlook the upcoming Yakuza: Dead Souls' archaic gunplay, just to digest the latest title's campy horror narrative. We've already spent a good number of hours with the Japanese import — but we're looking forward to getting our hands on the subtitled release. With our..

Yakuza: Dead Souls Teaches You How To Kill A Zombie

There are dozens of ways to kill a zombie, but we reckon Yakuza: Dead Souls has a majority of them

Having got our hands-on an import version of the tongue-in-cheek spin-off earlier in the year, we can confirm that Dead Souls is packed with plenty of ridiculous zombie debilitating methods. You can hit them with conveniently ditched bicycles, smash them with fire-extinguishers or even punch them in..

The Japanese publisher's announced that Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu will make a cameo appearance in the game's multiplayer mode. He'll sport his trademark white suit when playing on the side of the government, and go shirtless for the..

Hooray: Yakuza Of The End Confirmed For Western Release, Now Dead Souls

Celebrate good times, come on

SEGA's just announced that it's bringing Yakuza: Of The End to Europe and North America under the new title Yakuza: Dead Souls. The game — which sees the franchise's famous Kamurocho district invaded by the undead — will release in March 2012 with its full plot in-tact and a new mini-game called Pachislot. "Players will face armies of the undead, incredibly..

PARTY: Trademark Hints At European Release Of Yakuza Of The End

Regular readers will know that we love nothing more than a Yakuza game

We'd happily play one every year. And if a trademark registered by SEGA is what we think it is, it looks like we'll get our wish granted next year too. Yesterday, SEGA filed a trademark for Yakuza: Dead Souls in Europe. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is probably a rename for Yakuza: Of The End — a zombie..
