After 16 years, Yakuza 3 is getting a much-needed remake and RGG going the extra mile with a new expansion making one of the series' most popular villains playable for the first time

After leaking the title last week, Sega has confirmed that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is real, and the remake is coming with a brand new expansion focusing on the game's antagonist.

RGG Studio held its RGG Summit stream for Tokyo Game Show 2025 earlier today, and during the event it was revealed that yes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is happening. It's coming out on February 11, 2026 and to make things more confusing, the series is back to using the Yakuza name for this one instead of "Like a Dragon". This remake follows the Kiwami way by remaking the game from scratch while introducing new scenes to flesh out the story with new minigames (including actually letting you do tasks at the orphanage) and fighting styles for good measure.
