Next Yakuza is a zombie game?

Now here’s something I never would have seen coming. The new issue of Famitsu has details about Yakuza of the End, the fourth installment of the series, in a 13-page feature with a shocking bit of news: There will be zombies running amok in the streets of Kamurocho.

I don’t even know how to process this information, let alone offer any sort of intelligible commentary on the subject. Should I wish for a campy story? Perhaps I could pray that it’s not canon in a series known for its drama? I mean, I love zombies and I love how they can be bent to any thematic purpose but this seems a little absurd.
