Welcome
to 1980s Japan, the setting for Sega's upcoming Yakuza game! The economic bubble of the mid-to-late 1980s will play a central role in both the plot and gameplay of Yakuza 0. Money has always been a key factor in the Yakuza series, and it will be even more so in Yakuza 0, especially with the setting and increased focus on business management mechanics (according to the panel at TGS). Money will still retain purchasing power to upgrade your character's stats and skills. One money-making mechanic has undergone a major change: money will now fly from your opponents as you hit them, rather than waiting until the end of the battle to collect it. The story will follow 20-year-old Kiryu, who will compete in the real estate market of Kamurocho against the financial power of five billionaires, in an attempt to influence the region. As evidenced by gameplay footage, simulation aspects will be central to business gameplay—allowing Kiryu to systematically control the region. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Majima will be running a hostess club, a concept that will be familiar to Yakuza 4 fans, as the mechanics remain very similar. Players will have the ability to customize the look of their club as well as recruit girls from the streets. Players will be able to assume the roles of Kiryu and Majima. The game also includes over 100 side quests that are said to play a crucial role in your overall experience. The quests will provide you with another source of money as well as recruit members for your crime empire!
