With the announcement that Yakuza 5 will feature five main characters in five major cities across Japan, and a new game engine to upgrade the outdated look of the series, Sega has released a teaser site and revealed the back story of the new chapter.
Demian Smith had the (mis)fortune to get a job working as a translator on the very first Yakuza game for the PS2. If you haven’t played it, know that for a game set in Japan and called Yakuza, it wasn’t that Japanese.
And it’s covered in stickers. Because Japanese gangsters just love stickers?
Yakuza. Shocking, we know.
SEGA held a cattle call for its upcoming Yakuza game with an open audition. Women with experience as cabaret hostesses were encouraged to apply. One finalist has more experience than that. Much more.
SEGA has started holding “hostess” auditions for an upcoming Ryu Ga Gotoku (aka Yakuza) game.
SEGA isn’t just looking for actual bar hostesses (or hostess “types”) for an upcoming Ryu Ga Gotoku (AKA Yakuza). Oh no. SEGA is looking for night club cabaret stories.
