SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have launched Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. The action-RPG franchise has been going strong for almost 20 years and is currently enjoying a boom in popularity.
For those who are not familiar with the bonkers series, here’s a summary of what you can expect from each game:
Yakuza Kiwami is the extreme remake of the game that launched the series nearly 20 years ago. Play as former yakuza Kazuma Kiryu and unwind a 10-billion-yen conspiracy in Tokyo’s red-light district, fueled by his fists and unyielding resolve that will make him a legend.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 has the ‘Dragon of Dojima’ Kazuma Kiryu return to face the ‘Dragon of Kansai,’ Ryuji Goda in an all-out war between rival Yakuza gangs in the sequel to Yakuza Kiwami.
For the first time, both titles support French, Italian, German, Spanish, LATAM Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian text in-game.
The Digital Standard version of each game is available on the Nintendo eShop for £24.99. A combo bundle is also available for £44.99. A physical Standard version of each title is also priced at £24.99.
The Switch 2 versions of Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 follow the news that the third game is getting a remake next year. Yakuza Kiwami 3 will release across all platforms and include an all-new story titled Dark Ties.
