The game publisher Sega America posted a 70-second announcement trailer for its Yakuza: Dead Souls action adventure game on Wednesday. This latest Yakuza installment is slated for the PlayStation 3 console in North America next March. The parent company Sega released the action adventure game under the original name Ryū ga Gotoku: Of the End in Japan this past June.
When his neighborhood of Kamurocho overrun by undead, Yakuza series hero Kazuma Kiryu fights back with the help of fellow gangsters Goro Majima, Shun Akiyama, and Ryuji Godai. The quartet is first equipped with standard firearms, except for Ryuji, who gets a minigun to replace one hand. Their arsenal expands to rival that of Dead Rising, as Kazuma's crew can use everything from chainsaws to tanks, bulldozers, and forklifts. (ANN)
