Both Judgment Games Are Now Available On PC, You Should Play Them


It was only last year that the future of the Judgment series was looking extremely dicey, courtesy of a legal battle over star Takuya Kimura’s likeness. Looks like that’s all been cleared up, though, because both games aren’t just coming to the PC, they’re already here.Read more

Sega Announces Another New Yakuza Game, Drops First Trailer For Yakuza 8


Sega just announced two new Yakuza games that are on the way: Yakuza 8, the next mainline game in the series (and one which we’d already seen and knew about), and Like a Dragon Gaiden, an all-new release which stars series stalwart Kazuma Kiryu. That makes this three Yakuza announcements in...

Bringing Yakuza's Kiryu Back In Like A Dragon 8 Is Silly


Last night, we finally got a look at the next mainline game in the Yakuza series, Like a Dragon 8, and the announcement trailer immediately had folks online racing to assemble memes poking fun at the youthful new hairdo of the series’ longtime, stalwart protagonist, Kiryu Kazuma. Although it’s nice...

Oh Man, We're Actually Getting A Samurai Yakuza Game


Holy shit. It was just two months ago that I was asking Sega, very nicely, to maybe think about bringing the Yakuza series’ historical spin-off games to the West. Now, today, Sega only went and announced that one of them is indeed on the way, and has been remade for modern hardware to boot.Read more

Everything Shown At Today's Sony State Of Play


Today Sony held another PlayStation State of Play event. This one was about 20 minutes long and featured a few small announcements, a couple of new trailers for some already-announced games, and a bizarre ad for Sony’s terrible digital-collector program, PlayStation Stars. Yes, this could have been...

The PS Plus Library Keeps Getting Bigger—And Keeps Forgetting The Classics


Following a ballyhooed June relaunch, Sony’s PS Plus membership now comes with access to a games-on-demand library (well, if you pay for either of the two pricier tiers).

Sega, Please Let Us Play The Yakuza Samurai Spin-Offs


In 2022 Yakuza is a pretty big series in the West, as we saw yesterday when eight games made it to PlayStation Plus. But it wasn’t always this way! Between the release of Yakuza 2 and 3 things were looking incredibly dicey for English-speakers, and there were real fears that if Yakuza 3 didn’t sell...

Please Enjoy This Very Brief Look At Yakuza 8


Because we get new Yakuza games all the time, and because they’re so often set in the same places starring the same people using the same engine, the series has never needed big, staged reveals before. Take the next game, for example, of which we’re getting our first look...over a developer’s...

Game Pass Is Now Officially A Revolving Door For Big Games


If you didn’t beat them the first time around (fair, they’re huge), you now have a second chance. Three of the best Yakuza entries are coming back to Microsoft’s games-on-demand service, alongside a handful of more family-friendly games. Here’s everything coming to Xbox Game Pass over the coming...

Yakuza Fan Is Fixing The PS2 Original's Mistakes


It’s easy to forget in 2022, now that it feels like we get a new or remastered Yakuza game every six months, that for a very long time the series was MIA from Western shores, in large part down to the disastrous decisions made by Sega for the original game’s release back in 2006.Read more

Turns Out A Short Yakuza Is A Very Good Yakuza


If the Yakuza (and its spin-off Judgment) games are famous for one thing, it’s that you can smash a dude’s face in with a bike and that it looks very funny. If they’re famous for two things, it’s that they are really long, and that their stories and cutscenes go forever.Read more

Uncanny: YouTubers Recreate GTA 3 Animations IRL All Over Tokyo


Life imitates art, and nowhere is this more apparent than through these YouTube videos of a guy running through the streets of Tokyo, Japan as if he were a character from Grand Theft Auto 3. While the movement is strange for a human, it will look familiar to anyone who has tried moving around in...

Yakuza Creator Toshihiro Nagoshi Won't Be Making Smartphone Games


After leaving Sega, Toshihiro Nagoshi set up a new studio called Nagoshi Studio in Tokyo. Earlier this year, NetEase Games described the wholly-owned subsidiary’s M.O., stating it “develops high-end titles for worldwide release, with a primary focus on the console software business.”Read more
