About Yakuza 5 Remastered
Yakuza 5 Remastered dropped in January 2021 by SEGA.

But unexpected events lead him into war again, and thus starts his new adventure. There’s a lot of action, weapon combat, and exploration in the game. As it’s a single-player game, players were enjoying it solo until now, but this Yakuza 5 co-op mod is going to make it more exciting.
