Check out the latest releases of Japanese games from 2019.

Are you looking for news about good PC games with a Japanese theme? Then now is the right time. The gaming industry in Japan is making a strong comeback and has grown considerably in the last year, not only with new console games but also for PC. Eastern culture is one of the most influential today, which is why anime, samurai, and Feudal Japan games, for example, have a lot of space among gamers worldwide.

Japanese games are among the most popular because they have an incredible focus on the artistic side and create an immersive environment.

Although major companies in the industry are inclined to invest more in consoles, some games have ceased to be exclusive to video games and have versions for PC that do not disappoint.

The time has passed when one could complain that games did not run well on the computer. There are several options for gaming cases to increase your PC’s capacity and allow you to play without lag.

Want to know what the 2019 news is for Japanese games on PC? Then check out our list:

Yakuza Kiwami

One of SEGA’s most acclaimed series received a new version for PC in February of this year. This is a remake of Yakuza 0, which is over 10 years old. Kazuma Kiryu is back where it all began, being convicted of a crime he did not commit. After serving his sentence, he discovers what happened to the gang he belonged to and fights to seek justice.

Released in 4k, the graphics are excellent and will take you to the streets of the fictional city of Kamuroto. According to critics in the field, the new version shows an improvement in scene smoothness, reduces loading times between screens, and adds characters and content to better explain the story.

For PC, the game is available only in English.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

The story takes place in feudal Japan, in the late 1500s, where a disfigured warrior was rescued from the abyss of death. Sekiro is destined to protect a lord who is part of an important lineage and becomes the target of cruel enemies.

The adventure released by FromSoftware was well received among gaming enthusiasts. Although it is on the list of “difficult games,” as it requires knowledge of techniques like parry, it is accessible to newcomers. It focuses heavily on the story and little on mechanics, which means that the player needs to pay attention to dialogues and narratives to succeed.

For PC, it is available in Portuguese.

Nioh 2

Okay, okay… it hasn’t even been released for consoles yet, but it was promised for the year 2019, and Nioh fans are eagerly waiting. After a year without news, recently PlayStation released a new trailer on YouTube, and everything indicates that it will be released soon.

As usual, the PC version is expected to be released months after the console game. It is not known exactly when. Therefore, we are looking forward to hearing more.

According to what has already been disclosed by Sony, the game will not be very different from what is already known, but it will have new features, such as the option to customize characters by color and gender. According to the game’s director, the deaths will be “more satisfying” and more difficult than the first.

Team Sonic Racing

Our beloved Sonic has received a kart racing game version. A character of great success in SEGA’s portfolio.

There is nothing particularly different in Team Sonic Racing. It is a race with already known characters, and the goal is to finish in first place. An important detail is that during the race, you can collect coins (the famous Golden rings) to increase speed and score. Be careful, because it is also possible to lose them, which can result in a decrease in your position.
