I think it’s great that we’re getting Yakuza Kiwami 3. A lot of series fans, myself included, have yet to check out this third mainline entry, and a brand new remake of Yakuza 3 feels like a sound way to do just that.
Yet its existence is perhaps one-upped by Dark Ties, a wholly original game set alongside the events of Yakuza Kiwami 3. Far more than a quick side story - a la Yakuza Kiwami 2’s Majima Saga - Dark Ties will be more akin to Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Meaning, we can expect a more fulsome experience that shows a different side to the story.
