10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
1. Yakuza 0
What is it: Yakuza 0 is a prequel chapter to the Yakuza franchise, an open world action RPG inside the fictional district of Kamurocho. Play as series mainstays Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima in the cash-crazy wild-life of the 1980s, before they both came to power, as they fight to prove their innocence in murder and protect an assassination target.
Featuring an in depth plot of warring families that's spanned a decade of real time, the Yakuza franchise has always excelled in mixing both high octane combat, ridiculous sidequests, and business management, into a cohesive, gripping story. It's not just the youth of Kazuma and Goro you're seeing - it's the youth of Kamurocho itself.
With Yakuza 0, we'll be seeing further Yakuza games finally localized into English territories, so there's no better time than now to finally dive into the world.
When's it coming out: The worldwide release comes 24 January, two years after the Japanese release. What a coincidence, huh?
