More good news regarding the recently revealed American release of Yakuza 0 direct from SEGA. First off, despite being released to both the PS3 and PS4 in Japan, Yakuza 0 will only be seeing a PS4 release in America. Secondly, the game will receive both physical and digital copies. So those bemoaning SEGA’s decision to release Yakuza 5 digital only should be happy to hear the next title will receive a disc release.
It also is worth mentioning that I have read comments online suggesting that the game’s American release is connected to Atlus in some way, but SEGA has stressed that this is 100% a SEGA release and any mentions of Atlus (for example, the screens were hosted by Atlus) were only a subterfuge to hide the surprise of the release. Sneaky.
After the break, check out newly released screenshots from the upcoming game.

In Japan, the two companies might be separate but you have successfully deduced that Sega is operating out of Atlus now. So essentially in the west they are basically two brands of one company.
It’s good to see west i finally getting Yakuza, but i hope they port it over to X1 and pc. That way more people can enjoy the game. and am curious to see what Atlus is doing to ps5
No reason to release 5 Physically then?
Buying digitally if that is the case, but this is kind of pre-empted to release 0 physically when they clearly stated the market is so small in the west for 5. (which isn’t even out yet!)
I honestly don’t get SEGA.
