Outline

Entertainment for adults, setting out a human drama of love, passion and betrayal, set against the background of a vast fictitious entertainment district. This is the latest title in the Yakuza series which has further expanded the possibilities for game expression by adopting the underground world, formerly considered a no-go area, as its setting. There are four heroes, and players can enjoy four different types of battle. The number of mini-games is also the greatest in the series, including the same games that can usually be enjoyed with actual machines at pachinko parlors.
