The Yakuza Online x Psycho-Pass event adds seven characters from the anime to the playable roster. All are KSR quality. Players who participate in the event will receive a copy of Akane Tsunemori’s character card through daily login, with extra copies (for limit-breaking) available for meeting event goals. Accomplishing a raid-style quest against Shinya Kogami will reward points that can be redeemed for limited equipment and even existing SSR-quality characters. A Rescue-style quest will pit players against Psycho-Pass villain Shogo Makishima for more equipment. The crossover gacha banner will also feature Enforcer Ichiban Kasuga, who’s dressed like a member of Psycho-Pass‘ Division One, complete with a Dominator handgun.
Yakuza Online is a card-based free-to-play game starring characters from the Yakuza and Like A Dragon games. Its main story modes retell the sagas of Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, as well as a spin-off story following the travels of Ryuji Goda. Psycho-Pass, meanwhile, takes place in a dystopian future Japan that’s ruled by the Sibyl System, a totalitarian AI-led governing body that determines a person’s occupation and social standing based on their biometric status. This status is summarized in a color-coded “Hue” that signals a person’s potential for criminal action. The Public Safety Bureau employs “Inspectors” paired with “Enforcers” to arrest or execute criminals. The twist: Enforcers are themselves classified as “latent criminals”.
The Yakuza Online x Psycho-Pass crossover event runs through December 26, 2022. The game is available on iOS and Android devices, as well as PC in Japan.
