Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, known as Ryu ga Gotoku 6: Inochi no Uta (龍が如く6 命の詩。) in Japan, is the seventh main game in the Yakuza series, and the first in the series to be exclusively released on the PlayStation 4. It was announced at a Sony press conference that was held at Tokyo Game Show 2015.
Yakuza 6 is the last mainline Yakuza game to feature Kazuma Kiryu as the main protagonist. He would be replaced with newcomer Ichiban Kasuga in the game's sequel, Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Gameplay
Yakuza 6 shares much the same gameplay as its predecessors, being split between the fictional district of Tokyo, Kamurocho, and the real-world town (albeit a scaled back version) of Onomichi in Hiroshima. The game returns to having just one playable character, Kiryu.
Yakuza 6 uses a newly developed "Dragon Engine" for its gameplay which takes full advantage of the PlayStation 4 hardware. Principally it allows for a more seamless transition between street fights and normal traversal, with a more interactive environment, allowing, for example, Kiryu to throw opponents through shop windows. More of the game is voice acted than previous entries in the series and there are fewer loading screens when transitioning between areas of the map.
Several elements have been cut from previous games, such as combat trainers, weapon dealers and minigames such as pool and bowling. Some areas of Kamurocho are also closed off, such as the Champion District and the area around Kamourocho Hills, and underground areas such as Pergatory are completely missing. There are, however, more indoor areas than in previous titles.
The move to a new engine means that although graphics have improved, the game now targets 900p at 30FPS on a regular PlayStation 4 (as opposed to 1080p, 60FPS, as was the case in Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami).
The two Club Sega venues in Kamurocho have been restocked with older Sega arcade games, including Fantasy Zone, OutRun, Space Harrier, Super Hang-On and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.
A special "endless" version of Puyo Puyo is also included as an arcade game, deriving from Puyo Puyo Tetris (without the Tetris parts), but with a standard Puyo Puyo Tsuu ruleset. This version sees the player continously battle a series of randomised opponents with the same music and backgrounds until he/she loses. It lacks any sort of campaign, and while the AI becomes more challenging, the speed does not increase.
