The Yakuza / Like A Dragon sequence has been one of many largest surprises of the Swap 2 era, with three video games — 0, Kiwami 1, and Kiwami 2 — out there on the platform already. In February subsequent 12 months, it’s going to be joined by the model new Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Darkish Ties which is far more than a remake of Yakuza 3, says RGG Studio director Yokoyama Masayoshi.
In an interview with GameWatch (translated by Automaton), Masayoshi-san has stated that this remake “accommodates 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 feel you’ll get an concept, or somewhat, a reasonably 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 resembling Judgment or Gaiden) set after Yakuza 3, that is slightly shocking!
None of these are on Swap consoles both, and with Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Infinite Wealth each starring a special protagonist (although Kiryu does pop up, due to course he does), it definitely leaves us with some questions.
Masayoshi additionally insists that the brand new story starring Yoshitaka Mine, Darkish Ties, is “extraordinarily stunning”, stating that it is one of many “darkest” tales within the sequence’ historical past: “in the event you suppose Yakuza Kiwami 3 is only a remake, you’d be massively mistaken.”
Properly, even with out that little trace, it definitely feels like much more than a rehash of the unique PS3 launch.
