Players will not only face armies of the undead and incredibly powerful mutants, but a treacherous Japanese underworld that is just as merciless. Playing through the eyes of four of the most infamous characters of the series, witness allegiances shift quickly and the line between friend and foe lost. If you thought zombies were bad … meet the Yakuza! Yakuza: Dead Souls features gunplay for the first time in the Yakuza series, where everything from pistols, machine guns and rocket launchers can be employed against the zombie invasion.
Just remember to save some ammo in case you run into something even more terrifying than the zombies! Video footage of the game was shown for the first time at the Tokyo Game Show , showing footage of minigames such as darts, fishing, batting and karaoke. It also showed scenes of the town being overrun by zombies and destroyed by a large, black monster and many small creatures. Footage afterwards on the Ryu-Stream channel showed the cabaret girls' actors 'shooting' a zombie actor with guns.
A recurring theme in the series is tie-ins, in which real-life businesses, restaurant chains or products are promoted prior to the game's release and within the game itself.
A range of awamori drinks by Okinawa's Seifuku Distillery were licensed. Another returning tie-in was a promotion with town, in which a Kazuma Kiryu avatar was available for use with the town website, and Volcano, a pachinko centre sponsored by the website, was included within the game. Karaoke Kan, a karaoke venue featured in the game since Yakuza 3 , was included in another promotion.
The first customers to visit the special series rooms were awarded one of the three tie-in prizes 80 of each of the T-shirt and Kai Razor prizes were available, while 40 bottles of Black Dragon were given away , and an alternative 'Karaoke Kan Version' of the game's commercial was played there, featuring Jun Komori, a model who appears as a masseuse in the game.

The game sold , copies in its first week of release in Japan. And as of May 1, , the game has sold just under , units worldwide.
