Sega mengumumkan terpaksa menunda peluncuran Yakuza 6: The Song of Life dari yang awalnya dijadwalkan rilis tanggal 20 Maret 2018 menjadi tanggal 17 April 2018 ke wilayah Amerika dan Eropa.
Demo game rencananya akan dirilis lewat PlayStation Store pada tanggal 27 Februari 2018. Nantinya save data game versi demo dapat dibawa oleh gamer ke game versi penuh. Berikut ini adalah pengumuman seutuhnya dari Sega lewat akun Twitter resmi game Yakuza :
“Yakuza 6: The Song of Life‘s release is being moved back a month to April 17. This was a tough business decision we didn’t make lightly. But—with bad news, we also have some good—this gives us more time to line things up for launch, and on February 27, the demo for Yakuza 6 will be available and will allow players to bring their save into the game on release. This will be the first time everyone will have a chance to play the game (a moment we have long been anticipating!) and we can’t wait to hear what you think about it. We have many new plans to reveal over the coming weeks to give you all more insight into the series, so stay tuned!”
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life sendiri hanya akan dirilis secara eksklusif ke PS4.
