It's called Yakuza Of the End, for PS3

Sega is taking the Yakuza series in an entirely, totally unexpected direction, with Yakuza: Of the End. The upcoming PlayStation 3 game is a zombie shooter set in Kamurocho. The zombie invasion took place in April 2011. Screenshots in Famitsu show the Japanese Self Defense Force overrun by the undead.

Kazuma, Goro, Ryuji, and Shun, characters from previous Yakuza games, stay behind to defend their home by shooting zombies. Players will be able to customize guns in the game, one of the screens shows Goro with a gun arm.

Toshihiro Nagoshi wouldn’t tell Famitsu if Yakuza: Of the End was a numbered entry or a spin-off like Yakuza: Kenzan. Nagoshi also said he doesn’t expect this to be the last game in the Yakuza series, but if this game isn’t a hit it may change his plans.

Zombies...blah.  Seriously a weird direction to take this series in.  I think part of me is still hoping that this is all a big joke.

The important question is whether or not you will be able to visit hostess bars during the zombie invasion ;)

it has mechs?
this would be intriguing to me if that article mentioned mechs.

Can't wait to see zombies in Valkyria Chronicles 3.

One of the scans features hostesses. So, probably yes.

Honestly, I think the idea is fun, and could potentially be a fun spinoff for the lulz. Just make it not canon of course.

This is all well and good, but tell me, where is the TIME TRAVEL
