01Overview

Yakuza 5 is an open-world action-adventure game and the fifth main title in the Yakuza series developed by Sega. For the first time in the series, it features five settings across Japan along with five playable main characters. The game also features a brand new graphics engine, unlike previous games in the series that had been using the same engine since Yakuza 3. The game was developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, and it was released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3. It is played from a third-person view and is a single-player game. Its themes are action and an open world, and it belongs to the franchise that is now known as Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Because the game has five playable main characters, the player spends the story switching between leads in several settings, and every one of them has their own part of the plot to play through. The game is categorized under the adventure genre, with the open world giving the player room to move around each of the five areas.
