Built around the idea that legends can be rewritten and history can begin anew, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties combines two major experiences into a single package. Players receive a full remake of Yakuza 3 from 2009, alongside Dark Ties, a completely original story that has never been told before.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties – Game Trailer
The Return of Kazuma Kiryu
Yakuza Kiwami 3 brings Kazuma Kiryu back into the spotlight as he fights once again to protect those he holds dear. The remake features reworked combat that feels more intense and responsive, upgraded visuals that bring Tokyo and Okinawa to life, newly added cutscenes that deepen the narrative, and a wide range of mini games that remain a signature of the series.
The remake stays faithful to the original while modernizing nearly every system to meet current generation standards.
Dark Ties Delivers a Brand New Perspective
Dark Ties introduces an entirely new storyline centered on Yoshitaka Mine, once a rival of Kiryu. This story explores his transformation from a startup entrepreneur into a hardened yakuza figure, offering players a fresh narrative angle and expanding the universe beyond familiar territory.
Together, Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties form a dual epic that strengthens the franchise’s long-term legacy.
