A demo of Hokuto ga Gotoku will be available starting February 23, when in Italy it will be 02:00 am, on the Japanese PlayStation Store.

With a modus operandi similar to the one that accompanied the postponement of Yakuza 6 in the West, the demonstrative version of Ken Il Guerriero’s action will arrive on Japanese soil on the day when the complete game was originally scheduled to be released.

The demo will have two different modes: the Hokuto Shinken, in which to learn, with a tutorial battle with Shin, the main game mechanics; History, which will show itself in a special secondary mission.

The mission will include among other things the driving of a dune buggy, the fight with some speculations and an anticipation of the exploratory component.

The Japanese launch of Hokuto ga Gotoku is scheduled for March 8th.
