The Yakuza / Like A Dragon sequence has been one of many greatest surprises of the Swap 2 technology, with three video games — 0, Kiwami 1, and Kiwami 2 — accessible on the platform already. In February subsequent 12 months, it will be joined by the model new Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Darkish Ties which is way more than a remake of Yakuza 3, says RGG Studio director Yokoyama Masayoshi.
In an interview with GameWatch (translated by Automaton), Masayoshi-san has mentioned that this remake “incorporates some main hints concerning the future route of the sequence.”
“We have not formally announce something associated to that but,” Masayoshi continues “However when you play it, I believe you’ll get an thought, or fairly, a fairly strong sense of what we intend to do with the sequence going ahead.”
Properly, contemplating there are 5 extra mainline video games (not together with spin-offs comparable to Judgment or Gaiden) set after Yakuza 3, that is somewhat shocking!
None of these are on Swap consoles both, and with Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Infinite Wealth each starring a distinct protagonist (although Kiryu does pop up, due to course he does), it actually leaves us with some questions.
Masayoshi additionally insists that the brand new story starring Yoshitaka Mine, Darkish Ties, is “extraordinarily surprising”, stating that it is one of many “darkest” tales within the sequence’ historical past: “for those who suppose Yakuza Kiwami 3 is only a remake, you’d be massively mistaken.”
Properly, even with out that little trace, it actually feels like much more than a rehash of the unique PS3 launch.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Darkish Ties involves Swap 2 on twelfth February 2025. Will you be choosing the sport up? What do you suppose is in retailer for the sequence’ future? Get pumped up within the feedback under.
