Yakuza Kiwami, the remaster of the first game in the series, is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch this October, allowing you to experience the opening tale of Kazuma Kiryu’s story – depending on whether you fancy playing prequel Yakuza 0 beforehand – on the handheld.
As revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct, a Switch port of RGG Studio’s game about big Kaz battling his bro Akira Nishkiyama and first getting to grips with the idea that Goro Majima’s going to haunt him for the rest of his days by popping up all over the shop and asking for a scrap is on the way.
It’s set to release on October 24, 2024, giving you a couple of months to prepare yourself for a trip to Kamurocho with both it and the TV adaptation Like a Dragon: Yakuza looking set to arrive on the same day. How do you do that? I dunno, maybe practive switching between stances as you batter some goons, and then loose just a whole bunch of money running around your local town doing a bunch of weirdly captivating side activities.
