SEGA has announced a release date for Yakuza 4 of March 18.

Previously, the game was just down for a “spring” release.

The game’s story sees regular main character Kazuma step aside from the role, with three separate playable characters in “their own compelling back-story and a gripping interwoven plot”.

We’ve got a trailer for it too. See it below.

One of the best games this year that hardly anyone will buy.

Shame.

Still saying that, Yakuza 3 must have gained some traction in Europe for the fourth installment to get brought over.

Yeah I agree. Thankfully though, the zombie game is a ‘what-if’ side story and not a continuation (sorta like Yakuza Kenzan).

Wow, they’ve actually stuck it in a quiet week this time! Maybe they’ll sell a few?

Aye Blerk. Although to be fair Yakuza 3 must not have completely tanked for us to be blessed with another Yakuza title.

What did they put it up against last time? Something ridiculously popular, wasn’t it? I can’t remember…

I believe the biggie was Final Fantasy XIII which came out just the week before.
