As a long-time fan of the Yakuza series, I can hardly contain my excitement over Limited Run’s latest offering – the Yakuza 3 Remastered Classic Edition! Growing up with Kiryu and his entourage, I’ve played through every game in the original Kazuma Kiryu Yakuza series. The nostalgia hits hard as I remember the days when I first encountered these iconic characters back on my PlayStation 3.

Details about the contents of the physical collector’s edition of Yakuza 3 Remastered have been disclosed now that it’s open for pre-orders. Originally launched in 2010 on PlayStation 3, Yakuza 3 has since been updated for play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and personal computers.

Recently, Limited Run Games unveiled their plans to distribute physical versions of all seven games in the original Kazuma Kiryu Yakuza series, which includes the prequel Yakuza 0. Each game comes with a collector’s edition filled with extras and is being rolled out sequentially, starting from Yakuza 0, culminating in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. Currently, Yakuza 0 and its remake, Yakuza Kiwami, are sold out on Limited Run’s website, while Yakuza Kiwami 2 will only be available for a limited time longer.

With the time running out for players to purchase Yakuza Kiwami 2, Limited Run and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have unveiled the pre-order opportunity for the Yakuza 3 Remastered‘s Classic Edition. The standard physical version is priced at $35, whereas the Classic Edition, which includes a game soundtrack CD, a miniature Kazuma Kiryu acrylic standee, a Yoshida Batting Center Pin, character cards, and a premium black box adorned with a dragon, retails for $75. Fans have until January 5, 2025, to secure their copy of the remastered Yakuza 3, which is expected to ship in June 2025.

Based on Limited Run’s pattern with the release of the initial four Yakuza games, it seems likely that pre-orders for Yakuza 4 Remastered could open in early January as the availability window for Yakuza 3 Remastered closes. If the regular monthly schedule persists, Yakuza 5 Remastered would follow in early February and the last game in Limited Run’s Yakuza series, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, would be released in early March. Regarding the third mainline installment in the renowned action game series, Like a Dragon, its director Masayoshi Yokoyama hinted at RGG Studio working on a remake of Yakuza 3 this year, but no additional updates have been shared since.

Enthusiasts of the “Like a Dragon” series are buzzing with anticipation over the upcoming release, titled “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” This new installment features beloved yakuza character Goro Majima in an unconventional and epic pirate escapade set in Hawaii following the events of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.” This standalone side story has garnered significant attention, making it one of the most eagerly awaited games of 2025. It is scheduled for release on February 21, coinciding with other highly anticipated titles like Xbox’s “Avowed,” Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” and Capcom’s “Monster Hunter Wilds.
