Tokyo. At night. In the rain.
KUROSHIO â NEON BLOOD is an open-world yakuza crime saga set in a nocturnal Tokyo: red-lantern alleys, neon-soaked avenues, elevated expressways and the docks where the dirty money flows.Twelve years after he vanished, KyÅsuke Narumi â the "Ghost of Shinbashi" â steps off the shinkansen into the rain. His mother is gone and left a debt behind, his brother now wears a rival family's crest, and the RyÅ«gÅ«-gumi has started squeezing the bars of his old street. Who you listen to, which door you kick in and whose hands you leave the ledger in decide how the story ends.
A city to take back
- Explore on foot, by car or by taxi districts inspired by the real Tokyo: Shinbashi and its yokochÅ alleys, Ginza, Toranomon, Tsukiji, Akasaka, Tsukishima, the northern districts and the bay.
- Rainy, stormy nights with crowds in the streets, traffic and trains running on their lines.
- Ride the shinkansen to Miyako, the old capital: temple stages, a tunnel of a thousand torii, lantern-lit hanamachi and its own stories.
- Drive up Mount Oboro: ten hairpins above the city lights, a mountain village with a soba house and a hot spring.
The street has its rules
- Fight with your fists, a bat, an iron pipe, a tantÅ or a katana â or reach for a pistol, a shotgun or an SMG.
- Every crime raises the heat: patrol cars come after you, and it's up to you to lose them.
- Collect protection money, step into the underground ring, win street fights and take jobs from the contract board.
Behind the wheel
- Turn on the radio, follow the GPS, tune your car at the garage.
- Race rival drivers down the mountain pass, chain drifts and run deliveries without spilling a thing.
- Night races through the city and the expressway, and a shift as a cab driver.
Tokyo nights
- ChÅ-han in the gambling den, pachinko, karaoke, darts and the shooting gallery.
- Buy property, a penthouse sixteen floors up, new suits and a tattoo.
- Bathe in a sentÅ or an onsen to heal â the police lose your trail while you soak.
- 58 omamori hidden across the map, and a photo mode for your best nights.
