Yakuza: Dead Souls[a] is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3. The game is a spin-off of the Like a Dragon series.[2] The game was originally scheduled for release in Japan on March 17, 2011 two days after the release of Yakuza 4 in North America; however, after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the release was indefinitely delayed. A new release date, setting the game's release for June 9, was announced on April 7.[1] The game was also released in North America and Europe by Sega in March 2012.[3] The gameplay and themes are based on another Sega horror-themed rail gun called The House of the Dead series.
