A database listing showed up for the PC version
Even though PC players are still waiting onYakuza 3,4,5, and6, Sega is seemingly looking to bringYakuza: Like a Dragonto Steam sooner than later. A database listing for the gamesurfaced on SteamDB.

This is interesting for a couple of reasons. Fans have wondered about the timing of not just those aforementionedYakuzaseries PC ports, but alsoJudgment, a PS4-only detective game set inYakuza‘s old stomping grounds, Kamurocho. It would be nice to have all of these stories together on Steam.
If today’s Steam database entry is anything to go on – it surely is, at least partially – then that might meanYakuza: Like a Dragoncould arrive on PC before those back-catalog titles, for better or worse. I can see a case being made, anyway. The game gives longtime lovable lug Kazuma Kiryu a break in favor of a newcomer, Ichiban Kasuga, and it also adopts a far more RPG-centric approach to street brawls.
For players who don’t necessarily want to run through the entire mainlineYakuzasaga in order, one after another,Like a Dragoncould be a fresh start. As someone who’s planning to dive intoYakuza 3this year (please don’t hold me to that!), I’m honestly more excited aboutYakuza 7.It looks out of control.

I can burn my mouth with piping hot tomato sauce any day of the week, but it’s a short-lived fix. Eating all the pizza in the world won’t bring me closer to playingYakuza: Like a Dragon. (I’ll still try, though.)
PC speculation aside, I hope we get a Western release date for the PlayStation 4 version soon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio rolled out the Japanese PS4 version on January 16, so it’s been a while. Nottoo long, but a while, certainly. The official line from Sega is that it’s “coming to the west in 2020.”
Here’s hoping the rest of the PC ports aren’t far off either. Maybe they’ll swoop in!
