Kazuma Kiryu's Yakuza Zero Outfit Shows What Was Acceptable in the 80s

As anticipated, Yakuza Zero: Chikai no Basho will take you back to a time before protagonist Kazuma Kiryu was an orphanage owner or taxi driver. The prequel is set in Kamurocho in December 1988, and will depict a turf war over the land required to build Millennium Tower. It’ll also serve as a coming of age story for the aforementioned hero, who gets dragged into a murder plot – presumably, if we’re reading between the lines well enough, carried out by the ADD afflicted Majima Goro.

Judging by the screenshots, Kamurocho has been given a slightly retro face lift, which we suppose suits its 80s setting. The lead characters have also been kitted out in some even worse clothing than previous instalments, and slimmed down to make them look younger. Of course, even if the plot summary above has piqued your interest, you’re never going to play this game unless you can speak Japanese, because the ageing Yakuza 5 still hasn’t made its way overseas yet. Yeah, we’re still pretty bitter about that, too.
