Yakuza 0: Business Edition Revealed by Sega Along With New Kiryu Trailer

News: Sega has revealed a rather unique special edition for Yakuza 0 when it hits the PS4 in North America early next year.

Yakuza 0 is getting ready to be released on the PS4 in the west early next year. Today Sega revealed Yakuza 0: The Business Edition which is a limited edition that will include some special items. This “Business Edition” will include the following items:

A Stainless Steel Business Card Holder - This edition of the game will come with an ultra sleek business card holder tailor made for gangster executives. Show everyone in the boardroom you mean... business when it's time to whip out the cards, because Kiryu's 'Ryu' (dragon) and Majima's 'Hanya' (demon) tattoo design adorn each side of the card holder.

Three Business Cards - In addition to the card holder, the Business Edition also comes with three professional business cards from Tachibana Real Estate's Kazuma Kiryu, Cabaret Grand's Goro Majima, and the cabaret club Sunshine's hostesses. A major key to business is networking, so it would probably be a good idea to keep these cards somewhere close at hand. Besides, who wouldn't want a colorful card graced with the lovely ladies from Sunshine?

Putting the term "organized" in "organized crime" means one thing and one thing only: Taking care of business. And in Yakuza 0's 1988-era Tokyo, business is BOOMING. Kazuma Kiryu goes from debt collector (the physical kind) to real estate mogul within the red-light district of Kamurocho. Or in Goro Majima's case, the manager of The Grand Cabaret.

Some of the other key features in Yakuza 0 include:

The Dragon's Origins - What lies in a man's past defines his future, and in this case, we learn a lot about what inspires Kiryu down the paths he takes in the rest of the Yakuza series. Plus, you don't get to be called "Dragon" without being able to knock a few heads. Combat styles can be hot-swapped during fights for some of the most intense battles in the Yakuza series to date.

Embrace the Mad Dog - For the first time in a numbered game, long-time NPC Goro Majima is now playable. With his own fighting style, abilities, and his penchant for turning sleaze into profit, stepping into the role of Yakuza's most eccentric character will provide some eye-opening insight.

The Decadence of the 1980s in Japan - Cash rules everything in the world of Yakuza 0, and in the game, there are a million ways to spend, make, or take money. From cash spilling out of the pockets of gang members you fight to Telephone Clubs, Disco Halls, or even Pocket Circuit car races, there are tons of ways to be a well-to-do gangster.

For those who are wondering if Yakuza 0 will ever make its way to the PC Sega has released the following statement:

“"All that is confirmed and all that players should expect is a PlayStation 4 release. There is no PC version in production."

That rumor started floating around the internet yesterday but it appears (at least for now) that the PC will not be getting Yakuza 0. Check out the trailer that was released to accompany these announcements and tell us what you think. Will you be picking up Yakuza 0?
