Japanese PSN gets Yakuza 5 demo next week

Leave the bears alone!

You know what to do, Yakuza fans. Get that Japanese PSN login fired up for next week, as the first Yakuza 5 demo will launch then. Gematsu says that you’ll play as Kazuma Kiryu in some of the game’s earlier stages in Nagasugai, Fukuoka. 

New screenshots show bear hunting in the snow. I hope that’s not the demo, as that looks pretty boring. Plus, shooting bears is mean. And unless you speak Japanese, I also hope the demo is not the dialogue-heavy ‘cabbie’ one I played at Tokyo Game Show a few months back. Hopefully it’s just good-time kicking and city running. 

Get ready. Tuesday, November 27 is when the demo drops.
