But the Yakuza series is a beast of a narrative that isn’t meant to be experienced out of order or out of context, and a substantial gap still remained for many gamers.Įnter the Yakuza Remastered Collection, which consists of remastered versions of Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5, making every single entry of the saga playable on one console (initially PlayStation 4, with other platforms added since).
Even then, localized versions of the games were typically lagging one to three years behind their Japanese counterparts, so it wasn’t until 2017 that new entries and remakes of older titles started to become more widely known, first with the release of Yakuza 0, followed by Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza 6, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 over the next few years. It’s a shame the Yakuza series flew under many western RPGamers’ radars for so long it wasn’t until the series hit its sixth numbered entry that it started to benefit from an earnest marketing push.
