Yakuza Kiwami – Fate of a Kingslayer

Akira Nishikiyama murders their boss, yakuza Kazuma Kiryu takes the blame to protect him and spends ten years in prison. Upon being released, Kiryu discovers that both the Tojo clan and Nishikiyama have changed dramatically while he was away, his childhood friend Yumi has gone missing, and everyone is searching for ten billion yen that was stolen from the clan. As war erupts through the streets of Kamurocho, Kiryu makes it his mission to find Yumi and the missing money, as well as to protect Haruka, a mysterious young girl whom everyone seems to be after.

In 2005, a legend was born on the PlayStation 2 – the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, in his video game debut with Yakuza. Now, 11 years after that release, a new generation of players will be able to experience the incomparable action and drama of the Yakuza series with the rebuilt-from-scratch HD remake exclusive to PlayStation 4, Yakuza Kiwami.
“Kiwami” means Extreme, and the game takes that concept to heart. It’s not an HD-remaster or up-rezzing of PS2-era textures. Yakuza Kiwami was recreated from the ground up exclusively for the PlayStation 4. That means every visual element was optimized for the 1080p/60fps environment, every line of the script was re-recorded by series actors and for the first time in the West, gamers will be able to hear the original Japanese language track.
