Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5 are coming to the PlayStation 4, and fans of the series will be happy to hear the content cut from the original release of the third game will be intact, as per Sega Director of Production Sam Mullen’s statements on Twitter.
Digital versions of the three games will be released individually on the PlayStation Store and eventually as a set. But if you’re more of a collector, you can wait until after the three titles see digital release and grab up a physical edition. Yes, that’s right: Yakuza 3 through 5 are getting a physical collection release! Goodness, if this were five years ago my keyboard would be drenched in tears.
Though Yakuza 6 and the Kiwami titles have brought a new engine and these older entries may feel archaic, all three are worthy of a play and a half to fully experience Kazuma Kiryu’s journey and tribulations as he attempts to separate from the Tojo Clan, even from way down in Osaka, time and time again.
If you missed out on this era of the series, you owe it to yourself to pick these titles up either in the collection or individually to see the saga unfold as it was meant to.
