While Yakuza franchise has had a great lifespan being a PlayStation only exclusive franchise, it seems that SEGA is changing that to open the franchise to a brand new audience. Yakuza 0 will be hitting PC on August 1st! That will be followed by Yakuza Kiwami and Valkyria Chronicles 4 later. It will be great to play these titles with beefed up hardware. Yes, SEGA has confirmed that Yakuza 0 will run at 4k, 60 fps. Get hyped. Yakuza 0 will cost $19.99 and if you pre-order it now you get 10% off! The only negative about the announcement is that this title has Denuvo DRM, if that is an issue to you of course.
These two Yakuza games run on a older engine, what I really want to see is a PC port of Yakuza 6 since the new ‘Dragon Engine’ was a bit much for the PlayStation 4. But I’m pretty happy with Yakuza 0 and yes, I will play it again.

I already pre-ordered the game, but I have no immediate plans to replay Yakuza 0. I’ve spent over 200 hours on the PS4 version. The purchase was a show of support for the studio. I am interested in seeing how the mod scene might play out.
Just saw this on Facebook. Awesome news! Yakuza 0 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 are exactly the games I need on PC to keep me from having to pay for a PlayStation 4, haha.
It has Denuvo. Does Sega like being ripped off by other companies? Denuvo has been cracked already and the Tekken 7 producer Harada said Denuvo is messing up performance in Tekken 7. I hope Sega will remove Denuvo after a month or two, but I doubt it.
