Template:GameYakuza 4 (龍が如く4 伝説を継ぐもの, Ryū ga Gotoku 4: Densetsu o Tsugumono, lit. "Like a Dragon 4: Successor of the Legend"), is an open-world action adventure video game developed and published by SEGA exclusively for the PlayStation 3. While still set in the city of Kamurocho, Yakuza 4 differs from other games in the series as players experience the story line through four separate characters: Shun Akiyama, Taiga Saejima, Masayoshi Tanimura, and Kazuma Kiryu.

A remaster for the PlayStation 4 console is set to be launched on fall of 2018. The remastered version will run in 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.

Gameplay

Besides the usual streets, additional access areas now include the back alleys, rooftops and undergrounds. e.g. Carparks, sewers and tunnels.
