December 2015 marked the 10th anniversary of the Yakuza franchise’s lifetime in Japan. While the celebrations are already underway in the form of Yakuza Kiwami (a remake of the game that started the franchise) and Kiryu and Majima figmas, a new commemorative 10th anniversary Yakuza book is also in development. It will feature interviews with many development figures and various insights into the world-building and concept art pieces of the Yakuza games, also taking a look at the history of the series thus far.
It will cost ¥2,916 and is set to release on January 21st. The book is being published by Enterbrain.
