Sega livestreamed a 90-minute presentation on Monday featuring Localization Producer Sam Mullen and PR Representative John Hardin playing the English version of the Yakuza 5 PlayStation 3 game. The video previews the game world, the combat system, and other aspects of Yakuza 5's gameplay.
Sega describes the game:
Yakuza 5 continues the epic story of Kazuma Kiryu alongside four other protagonists, following their struggles and conflicts in the seedy underbelly of Japan's Yakuza underworld. Featuring a new graphics engine versus its predecessor, Yakuza 5 takes players to five major Japanese cities to venture through a life of crime and power.
Yakuza 5 originally shipped in Japan for the PlayStation 3 in December 2012. Sega will release the game in the WEST. digitally this fall. The release will include all the DLC released for the Japanese version of the game. The DLC includes "Another Drama," which are extensive sub-plots that focus on each of the game's five protagonists.
Sega briefly listed the game for release in the United States in mid-November earlier this month, but later updated its original blog post to remove any specific mention of a release date.
