Kazuma Kiryu's story will finally come to a conclusion in Yakuza 6 on 8th December in Japan, publisher SEGA has announced. The long-awaited sequel was dated during an event overnight, and you can watch the game's epic release date trailer below. This is the first entry in the series to be natively developed with the PlayStation 4 in mind, and it's really awesome seeing familiar locations looking so detailed.
The game will be set in the fictional Tokyo district of Kamurocho, but it will see Kiryu travelling to Hiroshima as well. Frankly, it looks absolutely fantastic, and after the excellent Yakuza 5, we can't wait to get inked and stuck into this game. It may be a while before it makes its way West, of course – next on the docket for us is the equally exciting 80s adventure, Yakuza 0.

NOM NOM NOM.
@Neolit Yakuza 4 is my favourite.
I recognized some of the actors, the guy on the top right was in the DeathNote movie I think and the one on the bottom left looks like he was in the movie Crows Zero.
@WanderingBullet Yeah, here's the full cast courtesy of Gematsu:
Kazuma Kiryu (voiced by Takaya Kuroda)
Haruka Sawamura (voiced by Rie Kugimiya)
Yuuta Utsumi (voiced by Tatsuya Fujiwara)
Takumi Someya (voiced by Shun Oguri)
Kiyomi Kasahara (voiced by Yoko Maki)
Nagumo Tsuyoshi (voiced by Hiroyuki Miyasako)
Tsuneo Iwami (voiced by Nao Omori)
Touru Hirose (voiced by Beat Takeshi)
We're looking at a spring 2025 release date here in the West, then.
@get2sammyb Thanks. I'm only familiar with Beat Takeshi, Shun Oguri and Tatsuya Fujiwara as I've seen some of their movies before.
I don't know how I feel about this... seems like Kiryu would be the only playable character... I'll certainly miss Akiyama
