Boy howdy, there sure are a lot of Yakuza/Like A Dragon games to play! Perhaps, like so many others, you’ve been wanting to hop into the elaborate and wild franchise all about Japanese gangsters and bizarre side characters. Well, a big ol’ Yakuza franchise sale, happening now on Steam, might help you finally check out this popular series.
20 years ago, in 2005, the very first Yakuza game launched on PS2. Since then, there have been over a dozen entries in the franchise, including remasters, re-releases, spin-offs, and even a weird non-canonical entry featuring zombies. And (almost) all of those games are currently on sale on Steam as part of a big Yakuza franchise sale that ends on October 23.
I say almost, because the zombies spin-off, Yakuza Dead Souls, isn’t included as it has never been ported to PC. The other odd duck here is Yakuza 3 Remastered, which isn’t on sale despite being included in the sales event page. Perhaps Sega made a mistake, and it will be marked down to $11 like most of the other Yakuza games in the sale. Who can say? Regardless, if you’ve been waiting to hop into the Yakuza series, this is a great time to snag a few (or all!) of the games and start enjoying them. As former Kotaku writer Luke Plunkett recommended in the past, you should probably start with Yakuza 0 if you’re hopping into the series for the very first time. After that, check out Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2.
