Yakuza Kiwami 3: The rebirth of a legend

In this chapter, players continue the journey of former yakuza Kazuma Kiryu as he fights to protect those he cares about. Yakuza Kiwami 3 is an extreme remake of the original Yakuza 3, delivering a complete overhaul in visuals, gameplay, and content.

The bustling streets of Okinawa and Tokyo are rendered in stunning detail thanks to modern graphics technology. The combat system has been rebuilt, pushing the franchise’s signature street brawls to a new level of brutality and fluidity. New cutscenes deepen the narrative, while enhanced side experiences expand the open-world immersion.

Dark Ties: A new perspective on Yoshitaka Mine

Included in this bundle is Dark Ties, a standalone storyline that explores the previously untold past of Yoshitaka Mine. Once the head of a successful startup company, Yoshitaka Mine willingly descended into the yakuza underworld after losing everything.

His journey is a search for genuine connections to fill the emptiness in his heart. Unlike Kazuma Kiryu’s fighting style, Dark Ties introduces boxing-based combat, promising a fresh experience for longtime series fans.

Two destinies, one point of convergence

Although they walk different paths, the destinies of these two men eventually converge and shake the foundations of fate itself. Integrating both storylines gives players a deeper, multi-layered view of the world and events of Yakuza.

Content notice: The developer warns that the game contains mature content, including frequent violence, sensitive imagery, and themes that may be inappropriate for younger audiences or workplace environments.

The game is now available on digital storefronts such as Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store. This is a great opportunity for both newcomers and longtime fans to revisit this dramatic chapter with cutting-edge technical quality.
