Yakuza series

[south carmain]

It's ridiculous that they still haven't given us a proper release date yet. I'm happy that it's being released and don't want to sound like I'm complaining but this game really deserves a lot more effort put in to its release than this.

Sega announced that they’ll show more on the recently announced Yakuza 6 through a NicoNico Live stream on September 28, and we’ll get a first look at scene featuring legendary Japanese actor Beat Takeshi. [Thanks, Game Jouhou.]

The NicoNico Live event will show an extended look from what we saw at the Yakuza 10th Anniversary Theater they showed for Tokyo Game Show 2015 last week, and it’ll include a first look at the character that Beat Takeshi will portray in the upcoming game.

The “Sega Nama” live stream will broadcast on September 28, 2015 at 8:00pm JST. Yakuza 6 will release for PlayStation 4 in Japan sometime in Fall 2016.

He looks spot on to how he currently looks on TV. Now I am legitimately excited for a Yakuza game. Not zero or kiwami..just 6.

Will this series ever die? Sega seems to be doubling down on Yakuza.
How many games are now announced/been made?

0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Ishin, Kenzan, of the End, Kiwami, Shinsou
11 games..

Am I missing any?
Nuts.

The 2 black panther psp games and they also made a sort of mobile game if that counts.

Edit: nevermind i didnt realise that black panther was shinsou. Well I guess you missed shinsou 2.

So it's fall already...

Edit: so the playstation store are saying it will be available in 91 days. Not sure if that's an estimate or actual countdown but if it's legit then I guess it's a winter release

Usually any Dec 31 pre-order release date on a gaming store usually means it will be out some time that year or early the next year, but its rarely the spot on release date for it, so i would take it with a grain of salt. Y5 should be out late this year/early next year.

Avatars are up in the EU Stores; 25p each.

[Monkei]

I bet we'll get a release date on october 27 (day of Sony's Paris Games Week press conference).

[Crimson Ryan]

Static and Dynamic themes are up. Static is free and the other 79p..

I'm probably going ot buy these. Can't believe how much of a slut I am for Yakuza.

Not exactly breaking the bank as an impulse buy are they.

Could November 5th be a possible release date? Swiped from the official forums:

[south carmain]

It's not about their cost but rather how I have never and probably would never buy such things for any other game other than maybe shenmue.

[Crimson Ryan]

Oh, I get you. I'm exactly the same. Hoping we'll have a preorder option soon..

[OL]

Still not up for preorder in the UK? That's odd. Hopefully they do the same thing for you guys that they did over here, and have a preorder discount and all.
