Powered by the new Dragon Engine, Yakuza 6 brings a gritty crime story and explosive combat to life. This story brings players back to Kamurocho as well as to the new setting of Onomichi, a port town in Hiroshima Prefecture. The shadowy events that take place will test the bonds of family for Kiryu and those closest to him.

In this final chapter for Kiryu he will use only one fighting style including the return of “Heat Action”. However, there will be the addition of a meter that can be filled up to engage “Extreme Heat Mode”. Extreme Heat Mode will enable combos to deal heavy damage making punches more formidable than ever.
