Yakuza Zero practically had the Push Square office on its feet when it was announced for the PlayStation 4 at PlayStation Experience 2015 last week β but there's bad news for those of you in Europe. SEGA's said that the game is only confirmed for North America right now, despite a trailer mentioning the Old Word. Apparently that was an error.
Interestingly, the game was given the moniker "console debut" during the Japanese giant's event on Saturday, suggesting that it could come to other platforms β or, perhaps more likely, the PC. This would seemingly indicate that SEGA's handling the localisation, and may not be willing to pay for additional translations. Sony, of course, is footing the bill for Yakuza 5.
It's important to note that the House of Sonic has not ruled out a European release, so it could still happen. To be honest, though, if you can speak English then it doesn't really matter, as you'll always be able to either import it or purchase it from the North American PlayStation Store. If you want it bad enough, there'll be a way to get it β irrespective of what SEGA decides.

@TripleGK Of course, it may not even get a retail release in the US, but it's easy enough to buy $$$ PSN credit and purchase it from the NA PS Store.
@tripleGK
Make a NA account on your PS4, get it from there. If you also make it a primary account, you will be able to play with your EU account and earn trophies with it.
@TripleGK Tell you what, if it comes to this, we'll do a guide on it.
@get2sammyb ive played no yakuza games is this a good one to start with?
I have a strange kind of deja vu and I think I am back ant the 90's...
@SKC_Diamond It's a prequel so probably? If you've still got your PS3, though, I'd go with Yakuza 3 or Yakuza 4. Depends how much you want to get into it, I guess?
If Sega screws me I won't purchase another Sega game ever again. Shenmue is the only exception.
@get2sammyb I never had a 7th gen gaming platform and also ps now isint out were I live yet
Ni no kuni 2 also said console debut but it's confirmed to be exclusive.

Sega! You F*cked it up!

The PS4 can have multiple accounts, nothing is stopping you from making an US one and downloading it from the US store. And you can also just import the game in general if it does have a phycsical release.
I don't see the problem.
It is kinda funny PlayStation is huge in Europe and this how they threat US thx Sega......
@get2sammyb Im not going to make different accounts to play a game where I have to use a fake adres so i dont own what I pay for.....
