Modder brings Halo to the Yakuza series and it\u2019s glorious Microsoft \/ SegaA Yakuza modder has brought Halo\u2019s Master Chief and the Arbiter to Yakuza 0, and it\u2019s just as bonkers as it sounds. On the face of it, the Yakuza series and Microsoft\u2019s Halo franchise have very little in common. One is an Xbox-exclusive FPS that defined an entire genre, while the other is a wacky action-adventure game with over-the-top martial arts combat. The serious tone of the Halo games feels like it\u2019s a world away from Sega\u2019s fan-favorite series, but that\u2019s not to say the two don\u2019t share a fanbase. Now, through the beauty of PC mods, the two worlds have collided, and it\u2019s every bit as bizarre as you\u2019d expect. Modder brings Master Chief to Yakuza 0 The Yakuza series is known for its quirky minigames, designed to break up the action with some light-hearted fun. In Yakuza 0, players can take part in a game of pool, mahjong, and even visit a cabaret club. Twitter user Kashiiera posted clips of two mods, the first of which showed the Master Chief going for broke in Yakuza 0\u2019s dancing minigame, throwing shapes as the crowd looked on. Fans seemed to respond well to the idea, with one fan joking: \u201cEven the mighty Master Chief needs some time to unwind.\u201d The second, captioned \u201cArbiter is out for blood,\u201d shows the Halo 2 protagonist brutally taking out an enemy in Yakuza\u2019s signature combat scenarios. The Arbiter had no use for an Energy Sword, instead opting for a nearby car door to deal hefty damage to his helpless opponent. Although the sequence looked slick, Kashiiera clearly had a hard time bringing the mod to life: \u201cThis is as good as it\u2019s gonna get, kinda hard to rig an alien to a human armature lol.\u201d If Spartans and aliens are what you need to spice up Yakuza 0 seven years after its release, both the Master Chief and Arbiter mods can be downloaded from NexusMods. While Yakuza and Halo were the last franchises we\u2019d expect to see thrown together, we hope it\u2019s not the last time the two join forces. Maybe next time we\u2019ll see Kazuma Kiryu battling through waves of The Flood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
