Sega has always been real shaky when it comes to talk of releasing the Yakuza games outside of Japan, but the fanbase has always persisted and shown it's support, and so far every mainline entry has managed to find its way overseas. Earlier this month, Sega announced that not only would the newest entry, Yakuza 6, be making it's way to PS4 in North America and Europe in early 2018, but Yakuza Kiwami, the PS4 remake of the original PS2 title will also be making it's way over in 2017.

Also being localized in February 2017 is the prequel to the series Yakuza 0, which takes place 7 years prior to the first game and is a great jumping off point for anyone interested in the series. New fans and old fans alike can step into a young Kazuma Kiryu's shoes and experience the tale of his yakuza origins, as well as play through the yakuza beginnings of his long time rival Majima.
