Yakuza development staff at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio finished every Kazuma Kiryu-fronted entry in the franchise in a single 170-hour stream last week.
The team members played through Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5 and Yakuza 6: The Song of life without stopping across 170 hours. A mammoth undertaking I’m sure you’ll agree, and one that saw rotating hosts and players to complete the marathon.
The Yakuza games vary in length, with Yakuza 5 being the longest entry as it features five playable protagonists. However, many of them can be finished in 20 hours if you’re just playing through the main story; going for all the side quests and side activities will see you putting in a lot more hours, though.
The stream also featured guest appearances by the likes of Takaya Kuroda, the voice actor behind Kazuma Kiryu. He also provided viewers with an impression of Goro Majima!
Looking ahead, the Yakuaza development team have their hands full on two new projects in the series: Like A Dragon – The Man Who Erased His Name and Like A Dragon 8.
