Yesterday we covered that Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 had been revealed for PS4, with a complete upgrade to the previous generation’s graphics and frame rate. However, it seems that the PS4 is not the only platform the Yakuza games are for these days. According to an interview VG247 had with series producer, Daisuke Sato, the series of beating people’s faces in with bicycles could be coming to the Personal Computer, or PC for short.

In the transcript of VG247’s interview, it is fairly simple; they ask what plans are, and Sato replies like a 1950’s teenager in a sex clinic. On the topic, Sato said, “I can’t comment on that at this very moment. […] but I wouldn’t say it won’t ever happen.” A bit of a dull climax really, Sato has left the door ajar for the possibility but hasn’t said anything about going through it.

With Steam already featuring Yakuza 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2, it wouldn’t be out of character for the rest of the series, (3 through 6) to show up. Though it is interesting why Sega are focusing on the console first and not including others during the initial development time. It seems like the perfect series to get in everyone’s hands, as it is a game about gangsters running businesses.

That might sound strange, but it is a series of “Much to do about nothing.” There’s a plot, but it is a paint by the numbers. There’s gameplay, but it is mostly about punching the men that want to punch you, play on the machines in town, and walk around the city. The appeal is the man with a brick for a face, Kazuma Kiryu. A man with so little emotion you’d think he’d be walking these same streets of Japan for 30 years in this marriage metaphor that I’m grasping at. It is a strangely engrossing series I recommend to anyone.
