Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties announcement

The announcement of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties opens the list. It's a remake of the third installment of the Yakuza series, set to launch on February 12, 2026, on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Besides the completely refreshed graphics, updated combat system, and new story scenes, we'll also find a brand new story called Dark Ties. We're talking about a separate game (but available in a bundle with the third part) where the main character will be Yoshitaka Mine (known from the base game), gradually discovering the dark world of the yakuza.
