At the recent RGG Summit, it was officially revealed that the beloved series will be expanding with the development of Yakuza Kiwami 3, a remake of the 2009 classic Yakuza 3. This announcement follows a brief leak on the studio's website, igniting excitement within the gaming community.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is set to utilise the advanced Dragon Engine, which promises a complete visual overhaul. Players can expect enhanced textures, improved facial animations, and richly detailed environments that breathe new life into the original game. Additionally, the remake will feature new story scenes, updated gameplay mechanics, and dual-language voice options in both Japanese and English.
The narrative centres on Kazuma Kiryu, who is now the caretaker of an orphanage in Okinawa. However, his peaceful life is disrupted when the Ryudo Family threatens the orphanage's existence. As Kiryu delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that forces him back into the fray. Yakuza 3 is particularly noteworthy for its innovative approach to combat, allowing for seamless battles in exploration areas, and it is filled with a plethora of optional content, including 123 side stories.
While no release date or platforms have been announced yet, the anticipation for Yakuza Kiwami 3 continues to grow, and fans are eager for further details as the Summit progresses.
