Sega has released new screenshots for its open world franchise Yakuza 5 which is slated to release in North America and Europe this year. The screenshots also introduces some supporting cast including details and also some familiar faces if you are fan of the franchise.
Yakuza 5 features 5 main protagonists making it the highest number of main protagonists of any game in the series.
Check out some of the revolting characters you will mingle with in Yakuza 5 along with their character description courtesy SEGA:
This imposing gentleman (pictured) above is Masaru Watase, an ambitious lieutenant for the Omi Alliance who wants to be the next chairman. You can tell by his permanent scowl that he is not someone you would want to mess with. Watase wants the Tokyo-based yakuza the Tojo Clan- to be at their strongest, because he would love nothing more than to have a good ol' fashioned gang war.
The stoic Osaka Detective is a mysterious figure that shows up in most of the protagonists storylines. He often drops important clues and help ''steer'' the main characters towards a specific goal. Are this manipulations based on a personal vendetta or is there a larger picture that our protagonists can't see?
This familiar face is the Mad Dog of the Shimano Family, Goro Majima. He has a quick temper and a violent streak, but is loyal to his friends in his own twisted way. Majima is up to his old tricks in Yakuza 5 but nothing important happens with him. Nope, nothing at all.
This ghoulish looking figure is Hiroshi kugihara, a sadistic inmate doing hard time alongside Saejima . Although Saejima simply wants to carry out his prison sentence in peace, Kugihara and his accomplices attempt to make Saejima's stretch a living hell by constantly beating him up. Saejima has been able to keep his cool and not retaliate, but this is Saejima we are talking about and he can only hold off for so long.....
As you can see Sosuke komaki is all about fighting and rocking the 90s grunge look. Although Sosuke may seem like a bad guy for wanting to beat up kiryu, he's actually a trainer who helps kiryu get back into shape. Long-time Yakuza fans may recognise the lineage of Sosuke's fighting style.....
Yakuza 5 released in December 2012 only in Japan but now slated to release worldwide this year via PlayStation Store.
