Yakuza Kiwami 3 is the End of an Era for the Franchise

In 2024, Sega revealed that the Yakuza series had sold over 27 million copies worldwide since its launch in 2005. The games have captivated players with their blend of compelling, emotional stories and lighthearted, over-the-top moments. This unique style is further enhanced by a cast of unforgettable characters. Because the series is so popular, the characters’ stories have expanded beyond video games into books, radio dramas, and even a TV show. The Kiwami series, which remakes Yakuza and Yakuza 2, exists to let fans revisit these beloved characters with updated graphics and new storylines.
