Kuroshio: Neon Blood

Tokyo. At night. In the rain.KUROSHIO — NEON BLOOD is an open-world yakuza crime saga set in a Tokyo that never sleeps: red-lantern alleys, neon-soaked avenues, glass towers lit up like screens, elevated expressways and the docks where the dirty money flows. Twelve years after he vanished, Kyōsuke Narumi — the "Ghost of Shinbashi" — 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 Ryūgū-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 whole city, day and nightShinbashi and its yokochō alleys, Ginza, Toranomon, Tsukiji, Akasaka, Tsukishima and the bay — plus Kumoi's skyscrapers and its giant scramble crossing, the island of Isana-jima, Kawasemi, the Nijigaoka amusement park, Kazemachi and the port of Tetsunami. A living city: crowds that cross, chat, shelter from the rain and stop to film what happens; traffic, trains on their lines, planes over the airport, cats and pigeons in the street. Day and night, sun and storms: wet asphalt that mirrors the neon, puddles and steam, lightning over the bay. Take the shinkansen to Miyako, the old capital — temples, a tunnel of a thousand torii, a pagoda against the sunset, lantern-lit hanamachi — or drive up Mount Oboro, ten hairpins above the city lights.The sky is part of the showBASE jumps from seven points across the city — the towers of Kumoi, a port crane, the Kurogane chimney, a bridge pylon: run-up, free fall, wingsuit, canopy, and a scored landing. Every night at nine, fireworks over the bay and a show of 600 drones drawing a koi, a whale, a heart and the kanji 黒潮 across the sky. A 3D whale bursts out of the giant corner screen at the Kumoi crossing, sweeps over the street and dives back in. Searchlights combing the clouds, LED façades on the towers and winter illuminations in the trees.The street has its rulesFight with your fists, a bat, an iron pipe, a tantō or a katana, learn new techniques and finishers — or reach for a pistol, a shotgun or an SMG. Every crime raises the heat: patrol cars, roadblocks and a police helicopter with its spotlight on you. Get caught and you spend the night in the kōban's cell. Cars that burn and blow up, slow motion when it all goes off, leaning out of the window to shoot, jumping from car to car. Collect protection money, step into the underground ring, win street fights and take jobs from the contract board.Behind the wheelBuy your car, tune it at the garage, turn on the radio and follow the GPS. Downhill battles on Mount Oboro, drift chains, 0-400 m drag races, night races through the city and on the expressway. Tofu deliveries without spilling a thing, a shift as a cab driver, and the scrapyard press for the cars you're done with.A life in TokyoBuy businesses that pay you every hour and a penthouse sixteen floors above the city. A traditional hand-poked irezumi, new suits and jackets, a gym with a boxing coach — and a cat waiting for you at home. Bathe in a sentō or an onsen to heal: the police lose your trail while you soak. Hop on a bicycle parked in the street and ride across the city. A phone full of apps, omamori hidden across the map, and a photo mode for your best nights.Tokyo nightsPachinko, karaoke, darts, claw machines, gachapon, the shooting gallery and goldfish scooping at the fair. Chō-han in the gambling den, koi-koi, bowling, batting cages, fishing and the boat races at Kawasemi. The Ferris wheel, the roller coaster and the drop tower at Nijigaoka, a skatepark, football at the dome, and a retro console with its own games to play at home.Your choices weighA main story with cutscenes and dialogue choices: sometimes answering is as dangerous as fighting.
