News Kiryu Was Always Meant to Return in Like a Dragon 8, Dev Claims

Ever since his story ended in Yakuza 6

Please note this article contains relatively minor spoilers for Yakuza: Like a Dragon. When Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was billed as the final chapter in series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu's story, more cynical fans would have probably told you that he'd no doubt return at some point. But even with that...

Soapbox Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Is One of the Best Video Game Send-Offs

Liam bids Kazuma Kiryu farewell

For the past month or so, I've been committing what some people would consider to be a video gaming sin. I started the story of Kazuma Kiryu back in 2017 with Yakuza 0 and ever since then, I have desperately wanted to see it through to its conclusion. Doing that presented some challenges, however.

Soapbox Judgment and the Yakuza Series Are the Undisputed Kings of Minigames

Kamurocho's true calling

If you've played a Yakuza game, then you already know how good the side activities are.

I recently played through Judgment for review. Essentially a...

News Yakuza 6 Demo Coming Back to PS4 Following Full Release Fumble

Available early this week

The demo for Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was only made available for a short time, as SEGA inadvertently released the full game on the North American PlayStation Store and, understandably, quickly removed it.

It's Kamurocho, but not as we know it

We're all big fans of the Yakuza series here at Push Square Towers, so when SEGA (rather messily) released a demo of Yakuza 6 last week, we began swinging bicycles at each other in delight. Last year's Yakuza 0 was fantastic, telling a compelling origin story for main man Kiryu and series mainstay Majima, a

News Sony Removes Access to Yakuza 6 Following Demo Mix Up

Heat action

Following on from news that SEGA mistakenly stuck the entirety of Yakuza 6 on the North American PlayStation Store instead of the demo, Sony has taken action by revoking the licence to the demo. In the US, if you downloaded the demo, the app icon should now have a padlock in the bottom right corner, meaning you can no longer play it,...
