Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will launch for PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe in early 2018, Sega announced during the PlayStation Experience 2016 keynote.
The announcement of Yakuza 6 follows the announcement of Yakuza Kiwami, which will launch in summer 2017.
Here is the press release from Sega:
Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima (and the main protagonist of Sega’s long-running Yakuza franchise) will find out exactly how much people are willing to sacrifice for family – be those ties through blood or bond – when Yakuza 6: The Song of Life releases in the West. The game is coming to consoles only on PlayStation 4, and thanks to the new “Dragon Engine,” is the most advanced Yakuza title to date. From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game’s blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will be localized by SEGA and published in the Americas and Europe in physical and digital formats in early 2018.
