Back in August of last year, PC players got the fantastic news that the Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's acclaimed
Yakuza series was making its way into PC with
Yakuza 0; opening the door to the possibility of the whole series becoming available for PC owners.
Just yesterday we found out that the Steam page had teased that
Yakuza Kiwami — which is an enhanced version of the original
Yakuza game that released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006 — would also become available for PC owners; set to release on the
19th of February.
Today, Sega has officially confirmed the news that so many PC gamers had been waiting for:
Yakuza Kiwami is officially making its way into PCs via Steam, which will release on the same date previously teased. With the announcement we got a new trailer that embraces the violence and weirdness that has made the
Yakuza series a household name.
While this is in no way confirmation that the whole
Yakuza series will be released for PC, there's a pretty big chance that this is indeed the case. All we have to do now is wait for more announcements by Sega and enjoy the official announcement trailer for
Yakuza 0, in the meantime.
Take a look:
Yakuza Kiwami brings a unique and enjoyable experience for veterans, as well as newcomers to the series. With the successful PC release of prequel Yakuza 0 in 2018, fans will soon be able to continue the popular story about Japan’s criminal underworld.
Yakuza Kiwami will become available for PC on the 19th of February.
