Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is seemingly sparing no effort to redeem Yakuza 3 in the eyes of its players. A new trailer showcases just how much of a remake its upcoming do-over really is.
Highlighting features unique to the Steam version of Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties, it introduces a host of changes that could make it the definitive way to experience Kazuma Kiryu’s tryst with Black Monday. From Trading Cards to a host of graphical upgrades that include support for Frame Generation, uncapped frame rates and Ultrawide Monitors, this one’s shaping up to be a trip down memory lane that Yakuza fans won’t want to miss.
The new upgrades showcase a fluidity to the game’s combat that the original version and its remaster cannot hope to match. Meanwhile, the reworked cutscenes and new fighting styles are sure to have you finding new ways to take down anyone unfortunate enough to be at the receiving end of Kiryu’s punches. There’s also Dark Ties and the chance to play as Yoshitaka Mine in a prequel detailing his rise.
With less than ten days to go before you get to dive in, this is shaping up to be a remake that could erase the title’s past mistakes and cement its place among the franchise’s best additions. It will be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 – head here for more details.
It’s great to see Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio putting so much effort into enhancing Yakuza 3 for Steam players. The exclusive features sound exciting and could really elevate the experience. Looking forward to seeing how this all comes together!
