On my bucket list of game franchises I'm hoping to play at least one installment of, Yakuza is pretty high on the list. I've heard such wacky, awesome things about Yakuza 4, but the constant stream of new games means the game keeps getting pushed further and further back.
Eventually, I tell myself.
Time to put another one on the list, as Sega of America's confirmed Yakuza of the End is leaving Japan as Yakuza: Dead Souls, and will arrive over here next March, complete with the Japanese edition's slate of downloadable content and a new mini-game, Pachislot.
Yakuza: Dead Souls and mixes up the otherwise more seriously toned Yakuza series and drops in zombies, mutants and all sorts of other supernatural creatures.
Also, I can't be the only one who sees Dead Souls and keeps thinking Dark Souls.




















more zombies.....could be cool though
Don't know much about the yakuza games, but from what I've seen, I can't really see zombies fitting in.
Yes fucking yes. Now go keep working on Yakuza 5.
"Also, I can't be the only one who sees Dead Souls and keeps thinking Dark Souls."
Yup, first thought that went through my head.
Thank you, Sega!!!
Also, there totally is a typo right over there. Dammit, Klepek! I'm pulling you out!
I really enjoyed playing Yakuza 3 and 4 when I got my PS3 earlier this year, so this sounds awesome to me. Even if it isn't quite right with the whole zombie thing.

The fact that we are getting this, but haven't gotten the last two monster Hunter games makes me super, super bummed.
@patrickklepek typing error on the title.
Edit: Thanks for fixing the typo !
Ahhh I still need to play Yakuza 3 and 4.
That said, once you get used to it, it seems pretty cool.
Saw the trailer, disappointed at the lack of Joy Division in a game called Dead Souls.
FUCK YES!!! Now if only they would bring over the ancient Japan Yakuza title too!
I'm sick of Zombies, but I'm super excited about this game. It just looks so balls out crazy. Plus the Yakuza games always have great writing. It ought to be hilarious.
Wish we could get a translated version of the amazing fuedal japan ryu ga gotoku *yakuza*. In japanese, that was pretty good. Came out what, like before the 3rd game? Still better than it as well

Have you played it? I watched the trailer a few months back and it looks like everyone only has one gun.
