Sega today announced that Yakuza 5 is now available digitally on PlayStation Network in the West. The open-world action adventure game was originally released in Japan in 2012, but gangster enthusiasts in the Americas and Europe can now experience the dark side of Japan through the eyes of five interconnected protagonists.

The 1980s in Japan were defined by unprecedented amounts of decadent overindulgence - and nothing was out of greed's reach, especially in Kamurocho. A chilly but electric Tokyo in December 1988 is the backdrop for Kazuma Kiryu's ascension into the ranks of the Yakuza - the name given to members of notorious crime organizations. And with Yakuza 0, newcomers to SEGA of America, Yakuza series wil... more.

An Angry Yakuza Lieutenant, a Manipulative Cop, and a Sadistic Prison Inmate Are Just Some of the People You'll Meet in Yakuza 5. When someone has ties to the Yakuza, their life is probably not boring. In fact, it's probably filled with, violence, money, and legally ambiguous activities. While I don't personally know anyone who is connected to the yakuza to confirm this, I do know that the prot... more.

Tembo The Badass Elephant is a quirky 2D side-scroller that combines the blazing speed of Sonic The Hedgehog and the gameplay elements of many notable titles from the genre (i.e. Alien Hominid, Metal Slug etc.). But unlike the games that came before it, Tembo takes a light-hearted approach to the fast-paced, military carnage it portrays, as you control the elephant protagonist through seventeen le... more.

One of the most important things a Yakuza must know is how to beat people's faces to a pulp. We're talking about brutal, bloody and no-holds-barred street fighting. Kiryu and Saejima didn't get street cred by adopting puppies and saving the trees, they got it by beating the ever-living crap out of everyone who dared stand in their way. In Yakuza 5, each protagonist possesses unique fighting sty... more.

So first, here's a quick mea culpa from me: I've been thinking about Yakuza 5 completely wrong. Admittedly, I have not played much of the Yakuza series, and if you caught our livestream last week you saw the bulk of what I've played already. But here's one important lesson that I've learned: You're not acting like Yakuza 24/7. Well, I mean, you are - Kiryu, Shinada, all the rest of the protagon... more.

There was a sign of life for Yakuza 5 (don't worry, we didn't forget about it) on the Sega Blog you may have caught recently, so now we're going to follow that up with a bit more by looking at the protagonists of Yakuza 5 and give you a little hint as to where their stories are going. In terms of release date, we don't have anything concrete, but production is wrapping up nicely and we hope to ... more.
