Get Yakuza: Kazuma Kiryu Complete Series on PC for 70% Off – Don’t Miss Out!
There’s still time to dive into the wild and wacky world of Sega’s Yakuza at a seriously discounted price. GOG is offering a massive deal on the mainline Yakuza series on PC, where you can snag a seven-game collection that includes the best versions of Yakuza 0 through Yakuza 6: The Song of Life for under $34, saving a whopping 70% off the total price. This bundle includes the “Kiwami” remakes of the first two Yakuza games, as well as the remastered editions of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5. But don’t wait too long, as the sale expires on September 10 at 3 a.m. EDT/12 a.m. PDT.
Each game in this collection can be purchased individually and are also on sale, with prices ranging from 45% to 70% off their standard $19.99 price.
Keep in mind that this bundle focuses on the mainline, Kiryu-centric Yakuza games, so you won’t find any of the turn-based games from the more recent Ichiban Kasuga era (like Like a Dragon or Infinite Wealth). The collection also doesn’t include any Yakuza spinoffs, such as Like a Dragon: Ishin!, The Man Who Erased His Name, or the delightfully bizarre Yakuza: Dead Souls. That being said, Ichiban Kasuga’s debut game, 2020’s excellent Yakuza: Like a Dragon, is currently on sale from GOG for $11.99 (was $19.99).
There’s no franchise quite like Yakuza. It’s an epic story about the criminal underworld centered around the stoic and virtuous Kazuma Kiryu, a.k.a. the Dragon of Dojima, with a healthy dose of surreal and comical substories. If you need any more convincing as to why Yakuza is one of the best – and certainly one of the strangest – franchises out there, check out this great essay from Super Eyepatch Wolf (caution: some series spoilers):
