Read on for my initial thoughts and impressions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At the same event, Sega announced a playable demo will be available for the title, more news of which will be shared in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yakuza Kiwami 3 hands-on<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Yakuza Kiwami 3 follows Kazuma Kiryu as he settles in Okinawa to run the Morning Glory Orphanage, only to find himself entangled in a web of sinister conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the demo, I was embroiled in Kiryu&#8217;s clash with the Ryudo Family, an Okinawan yakuza syndicate scheming to seize the Morning Glory Orphanage&#8217;s land, where I faced off against the Ryudo patriarch Shigeru Nakahara and family captain Rikiya Shimabukuro.<\/p>\n<p> \u200b\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A standout moment showed Rikiya \u2014 initially hostile towards Kiryu \u2014 shifting his perspective after watching him bravely risk everything alone to save the head of the local shopping district. This entirely new scene, missing from the original Yakuza 3, masterfully captures Rikiya&#8217;s growing respect for Kiryu through nuanced facial expressions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Master weapons and enjoy the thrill of \u201cRyukyu Style\u201d combat<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">City streets spark spontaneous fights where Kiryu can switch fluidly between his Dragon of Dojima: Kiwami Style and Ryukyu Style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ryukyu Style maps weapons to different buttons for easy, diverse attacks. Weapons switch automatically based on the button pressed, so even simple button mashing feels satisfying.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Players can expect a variety of Heat Actions, as well as the Dragon Boost, which activates by maxing out Kiryu&#8217;s gauge. The Dragon Finisher delivers a final devastating blow, complete with a backdrop of a roaring dragon.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life at Morning Glory: deepening ties with the children<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Life at Morning Glory is a side-adventure where Kiryu nurtures bonds with children at the orphanage through cooking, sewing, helping with homework, and heartfelt chats. Kiryu\u2019s &#8220;Daddy Rank&#8221; increases as trust grows, reflecting his growth as a father figure. Earning enough trust unlocks each child&#8217;s unique Family Time Event.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I became quite emotionally invested while I was playing, especially when thinking it was all for the children. The interactions perfectly echo Kiryu&#8217;s challenges as a novice parent striving to do his best, and transform minigames from mundane tasks into heartfelt moments of caring for the kids.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bad Boy Dragon: Join the small-time Haisai Girls gang and protect Okinawa<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">In the new team battle content, Bad Boy Dragon, Kiryu is unexpectedly appointed to head up a struggling Okinawan girls\u2019 gang, Haisai Girls. Together, they stand up to protect Okinawa from the formidable Tokyo Night Terrors.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">You can engage in either Total Annihilation, where up to 20 allies clash against over 100 enemies, or Turf Wars, where teams split up to capture and take down enemy bases.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-5.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dark Ties hands-on: revealing an unexpected side of Mine&#8217;s cool facade<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Dark Ties centers on Yoshitaka Mine, the chilling antagonist who stands in Kiryu\u2019s path, and he stole the spotlight in the preview. Unlike the fiery, heartfelt Kiryu and Ichiban, Mine is cold and detached, dismissing even Daigo&#8217;s &#8220;family&#8221; talk as empty rhetoric. It is rare for the series to convey a character&#8217;s thoughts through raw inner monologues.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-6.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast-paced combat based on shoot boxing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Rooted in shoot boxing (a martial art originating in Japan), Mine delivers swift, stylish, agile attacks.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-7.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Filling the Shackled Heart gauge triggers Dark Awakening mode, swapping Mine&#8217;s refined shoot boxing style for raw brutality \u2014 head grabs, ground drags, and ferocious strikes \u2014 mirroring his duality of a cool exterior and inner darkness.<\/p>\n<p> \u200b\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-8.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kanda Damage Control: turning Kanda into a lovable charmer<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">In Kanda Damage Control, Mine tackles various missions like street rescues on behalf of Kanda, the Nishikiyama Family patriarch, and Tojo Clan lieutenant. Completing them will boost Kanda&#8217;s public perception and gradually transform him into a charismatic figure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Leveling up Kanda&#8217;s Charisma Rank unlocks Drink Links, where you&#8217;ll deepen your bond with Kanda and witness his hopelessly goofy flaws. His candid rants made me envy how much he enjoys life to the fullest, and I can&#8217;t wait to see his dynamic with Mine evolve.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report-9.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Yakuza Kiwami 3 &#038; Dark Ties launches on PS5 and PS4 on February 12.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2026\/01\/15\/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-hands-on-report\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set to launch on February 12, 2026, Yakuza Kiwami 3 &#038; Dark Ties for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 bundles two titles into one: Yakuza Kiwami 3, a remake of the original Yakuza 3 released in 2009, and the all-new Dark Ties, which stars Yoshitaka Mine, Kiryu&#8217;s adversary.
