Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties – PlayStation 5
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties brings two powerful experiences in one definitive action-adventure package for PlayStation 5, including a full remake of the classic Yakuza 3 and a brand-new companion story called Dark Ties. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA, this title revitalises one of the most ambitious stories in the Yakuza franchise with enhanced visuals, modernised combat, and deep narrative richness that appeals to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
In Kiwami 3, players reprise the role of ex-yakuza Kazuma Kiryu, who has left the criminal underworld and now runs an orphanage in Okinawa — but peace is short-lived as he is drawn back into a sprawling conspiracy involving factional disputes, corporate influences, and dangerous enemies. This remake elevates the original 2009 game with improved graphics powered by the upgraded Dragon Engine, refined animations, richer cinematics, and expanded gameplay mechanics that make every fight and exploration sequence more engaging than ever.
Dark Ties adds substantial value to the package with a new standalone storyline that focuses on Yoshitaka Mine, a key antagonist from Yakuza 3. Set before the events of the main story, this narrative delves into Mine’s rise from a fallen entrepreneur to a formidable yakuza figure, offering a fresh perspective and distinct combat style as players explore familiar locales like Kamurocho while facing new challenges and underground fight club battles.
Optimised for PlayStation 5, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties supports DualSense adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, remote play, and delivers smooth performance with richly detailed environments, cinematic cutscenes, and immersive audio that bring the streets of Okinawa and Tokyo to life. With an expansive main story, engaging side quests, dynamic combat, and a deep cast of characters, this compilation honours the legacy of the Yakuza series while offering modern enhancements that make it a must-play on next-generation consoles.
