Yakuza: Like A Dragon (or Yakuza 7, as it’s called in Japan and which most people refer to it as anyway) is already out in Japan and expected to release in the west later this year.
Now it appears as though it could get a PC release in addition to the PS4 version.
A listing for Yakuza: Like A Dragon has appeared on SteamDB, which tracks everything in Steam’s database.
So far, Yakuza 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2 have been brought to Steam. It feels a little strange to jump straight to Yakuza 7 next without bringing 3-6 to Steam as well. However, since this is just a database entry, we have no idea what the release date of this theoretical PC version might be. They could bring additional Yakuza games to Steam before then.
It’s not even a guarantee that Yakuza 7 is coming to Steam, since it’s just a SteamDB entry. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Sega will have presentations in early June as part of the E3 replacement events we’ve discussed. Here’s hoping their announcements will include more Yakuza PC ports and a western release date for Yakuza 7!
(Speaking of which, EA announced its digital event for June today, so I’ve updated the post accordingly.)
Are you planning to play Yakuza: Like A Dragon? Do you think it’s really coming to Steam, and if so, do you expect them to release the other games on Steam ahead of it? Share your thoughts in the comments!
I feel like they will jump right to 7 on Steam, just cuz it’s the latest and to give people options at launch.
That’s a good point, especially since it has a new protagonist, but it feels odd that they haven’t brought the 3-5 remasters to Steam yet.
