Head to the karaoke booth and sing your heart out, Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life is getting a slight delay. Despite a barrage of trailers like the mini-games highlights and the clan creator saying it will arrive on March 20, it will unfortunately be pushed back.
The news came from the Yakuza Twitter account:

The good news is, there will be a demo for the game on February 27th and all progress made within the demo will be carried over to its new date launch date of April 17.
Some might be worried that the PS4 exclusive will be out too close to another big exclusive, God Of War which is arriving on April 20. Though it might be worth of the delay. The end of March seems to be stacked with a lot of new games coming out, and for the series that only saw a push for English releases recently due to low sales in the West, moving out of the way may be good call in the long run.
UPDATE 17/3/18: We recently learned that the delay only affects the US and Europe versions of the game. The title has been updated to reflect this information.
