Just as we come to grips with Kiryu's death, in a super cheap move it's revealed that he didn't actually die. Despite having been pumped full of lead, then left to bleed out on the floor of a remote military facility off the coast of a small town, Kiryu is very much still alive. Or secretly alive, anyway.

Yakuza 5: 2012
Majima survives, but is wounded in the altercation. Kurosawa orders local newspapers to report Majima as being dead, so as to demoralize the Tojo Clan and incentivize Kiryu to attack Kurosawa's inter-Omi Alliance rival, Masaru Watase.It's safe to say that Yakuza 7 will breach the 24 hour mark, at least prolonging its lengthy story. The longest Yakuza game to date is currently Yakuza 5, which takes a staggering 41 hours to complete (according to How Long to Beat).

So which Yakuza game should you start with? As with most entertainment, it's probably best to start with Yakuza at the beginning. Launching in 2017 for PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation 3 in Japan), Yakuza 0 is technically a prequel, but we reckon it's still the best place to begin.
Although Yakuza membership has declined since the implementation of the Anti-Boryokudan Act in 1992, according to the National Police Agency (Japan) there are still approximately 39,100 active Yakuza members in Japan as of 2016.
After all, like GTA, Sega's Yakuza is an open-world action game series with a focus on crime. But despite their thematic similarities, the two aren't much alike at all. It's more of a reminder: they don't make games like this anymore. Yakuza 0 takes place in 1988, and is spread out across two locations and characters.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Sega for PlayStation 4. The game is the seventh main entry in the Yakuza series, and was released in Japan in December 2016. The English version was released in Southeast Asia in March 2018, and worldwide the following month.
Yakuza. Japanese organized crime. Alternative Title: gokudō Yakuza, also called bōryokudan or gokudō, Japanese gangsters, members of what are formally called bōryokudan (“violence groups”), or Mafia-like criminal organizations.
When did Yakuza 5 come out?
The meaning of the Japanese word “Kiwami” is “extreme,” and I'd say it's going to be a pretty extreme year for fans of Sega's Yakuza games!
