About Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
The Dragon of Dojima will find out exactly how much people are willing to sacrifice for family – be those ties through blood or bond – when Yakuza 6: The Song of Life releases in the West.
The game is coming to consoles only on PlayStation 4, and thanks to the new “Dragon Engine,” is the most advanced Yakuza title to date.
From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration of the series’ blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.

THE END OF A DREAM

were shocked by an idol’s sudden confession:”Kazuma Kiryu is my family.”In that moment, an idol became human again.
For Haruka Sawamura, the dream had changed.Meanwhile, Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima,
has just put a decisive end to the yakuza’s war of five cities.The snow fell gently as Kiryu and Haruka reunited.
It should have been the beginning of simpler times…
NOT ALL IS FORGIVEN
Before Kiryu can return to Morning Glory Orphanage to live with Haruka and the other children, he returns to prison to serve out a three-year sentence for his role in the conflict.To Kiryu, three years is a light sentence, a necessary step to cleanse the stains of his past. But in those short three years, the threads of his life begin to unravel.Haruka’s retirement from the public eye was not without consequences. The public passed a harsh sentence on the girl with ties to the yakuza.The tabloid slanders became a deafening roar. And it wasn’t long before the other children of Morning Glory began to feel the effects.Haruka, alone for the first time, suddenly realized just how naive she’d been.

Fearing the negative effects she was having on the children, Haruka crept off into the night without so much as a word.He should have been there for her. He should have protected her.
