Yakuza 5 Zombie Trailer
So this is a bit unexpected. Yakuza 5 (Yakuza: Of The End), the most recent installment of Sega’s Yakuza franchise is apparently going to have zombies. Wait. What? This is a game about gangsters and we’re going to have the undead involved? I’m not complaining, I’m just a little taken aback!
Want to know how and why it happened? Well according to an interview mentioned in Kotaku:
We don’t want to stop the Yakuza franchise. In terms of making entertainment, we’re deadly serious,” Kikuchi said of the bizarre addition. “We want to have the ability to branch out and create new game experiences [with Yakuza.] We’ve done it in the past with Yakuza Kenzan, a samurai themed game. Making differently themed games is our challenge to create new types of entertainment.
Apparently it’s not official yet if this game is an exact sequel in the series or a spin off which is something Sega has been known to do in the past. Regardless: Japanese gangsters with zombies? I’m in!
