The Next Yakuza Remake Could Finally Fix the Series’ Most Frustrating Masterpiece

Sega

A lot of people are, understandably, feeling a bit fatigued by the veritable tsunami of video game remakes and remasters we’re seeing right now. Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, and even Dynasty Warriors — everyone is getting in on the remake scene. Just last month, I wrote a review about Metal Gear Solid Delta, questioning its role and reason to exist as a “new” version of a pivotal classic. Often, the limitations of the system games are made on are integral to their artistic vision, but there are times when those constraints can hinder an artistic vision. Yakuza 3 is one of those games, and it looks like it’s next up on the remaster block.

Apparently, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio itself has accidentally leaked the existence of a Yakuza Kiwami 3, which presumably, like the previous two Kiwami games, would be a full-blown remake of the third game — most likely on the Dragon Engine introduced with Yakuza 6.
