The Yakuza 0 PS4 disc brings back the glitz and excess of 1980s Japan in SEGA’s prequel to the Yakuza series. It launched on PS4 on 24 January 2017 in Europe and North America, published by SEGA, and PlayStation lists it as a fighting, action and adventure game. You play as two men: a young Kazuma Kiryu in Tokyo and Goro Majima, a cabaret club manager in Osaka. Street brawls, a tangled crime story and a huge amount of nightlife and side activities fill its two cities.
Yakuza 0 PS4: Table of Contents
Two Men, Two Cities, One Crime Story in 1988
Yakuza 0 is set in 1988, at the height of Japan’s economic boom, and SEGA describes it as a prequel to the earlier games in the series. Kazuma Kiryu is a 20-year-old yakuza whose simple job of collecting a debt goes badly wrong when the man he roughed up is found murdered. That puts him at the centre of a power struggle inside a criminal organisation. In Osaka, Goro Majima runs a cabaret club and tries to live a quieter life, while hoping to get back into the yakuza world he was pushed out of. The game switches between both men, so you follow two stories in two cities that slowly connect. The tone moves from serious crime drama to comedy and back, and the violence, language and gambling content give it a PEGI 18 rating.
Three Fighting Styles and a City Full of Distractions
Combat is real-time street brawling. According to the official PlayStation description, you can switch between three fighting styles at any moment, changing your speed and power to suit the fight in front of you. The streets themselves become weapons: you can pick up bicycles, signposts and car doors to land combos and finishing moves on gangs of thugs. Away from the fights, Tokyo and Osaka are packed with things to do. The official listing points to discos, hostess clubs and classic SEGA arcades, and the PlayStation Blog adds pocket car racing, dancing, pool, going out for drinks, calling girls on the telephone and running side businesses. You can spend hours on these extras before returning to the main story, which is a big part of the series’ appeal.
Single-Player Story and PS4 Features
Yakuza 0 is built around a single-player story campaign that alternates between Kiryu and Majima, with optional side stories and minigames throughout both cities. The PlayStation listing does not advertise an online multiplayer mode or PS VR support, and you do not need PlayStation Plus to finish the story. The dialogue is voiced in Japanese with on-screen subtitles, so expect plenty of reading during the long cutscenes. The game carries trophies like other PS4 titles, and it rewards players who explore every street rather than rushing the main missions.
PAL R2 Disc, PS4 and PS5
This is a new, sealed PAL Region 2 physical disc for the Europe and Middle East market. PS4 games are not region-locked, so it plays on any PS4, PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro. Sony’s page for this edition lists PS4 only; most PS4 games run on a PS5 with a disc drive, so check Sony’s backward compatibility list. Delivered across the UAE in up to 3 business days, free on orders from AED 300.
Who This Is Not For
This is not for younger players: it is rated PEGI 18 for violence, bad language and gambling, with adult nightlife themes. Voices are in Japanese only, so you must read subtitles through long cutscenes. Combat is brawling rather than shooting, and there is no online multiplayer or split-screen campaign. The 2017 visuals are a step behind newer open-world games, and Arabic is not offered.
