Buy the entire Kazuma Kiryu Yakuza saga for 70% off

There is no franchise quite like Yakuza. It is an epic tale of the criminal underworld, centered around the stoic and virtuous Kazuma Kiryu, also known as the Dragon of Dojima, with a strong dose of surreal and comedic subplots. Right now, GOG is offering a huge discount on the main series Yakuza on the PC.

Until September 10, you can purchase a collection of seven games, including the best versions of Yakuza-0 Through Yakuza 6: The Song of Life for less than $34, which is 70% off the total price. This bundle includes the “Kiwami” remakes of the first two Yakuza games and the remastered editions of Yakuza-3, 4and 5.

Each game in this collection can be purchased individually and is also on sale for 45% to 70% off the standard price of $19.99:

Please note that this bundle focuses on the mainline, Kiryu-centric Yakuza games. That means that neither of the turn-based games from the more recent Ichiban Kasuga era are included (e.g. no Like a dragon or Infinite wealth). The collection also does not include any Yakuza spin-offs like Like a dragon: Ishin!, The man who erased his nameor the delightfully bizarre Yakuza: Dead Souls. That said, Ichiban Kasuga’s debut game, 2020’s excellent Yakuza: Like a Dragonis currently for sale from GOG for $11.99 (was $19.99).
