Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the 2005 open world action-adventure game Yakuza.
Sega has sneakily confirmed the PC release date for the original Yakuza Kiwami. The news comes via a new animated GIF posted on the game’s Steam page, where a new “Majimaaaa!” category added just above the game’s main synopsis. It shows an animated gif of the aforementioned Goro Majima appearing out of a sewer cover. For a […]The post Yakuza: Kiwami Launches for PC on February 19 appeared first on Niche Gamer.
We've known for some time - since June 2018, in fact - that Yakuza Kiwami is on its way to PC through Steam. And now, some six months later, we might finall…
I read some comments the other day that suggested PC was treated like a second-tier platform because Red Redemption 2 still hadn’t been confirmed. If only they’d known that we were about to get another Yakuza game, which are just as good as Rockstar’s horse dating sim. Yakuza Kiwami, which we already knew was coming, might be launching on Steam very soon. A Steam update spotted on SteamDB by Andrew Marmo and posted on Twitter suggests that Kiwami will be popping into existence imminently, with Steam keys being generated ahead of launch. Steam achievements are also starting to show up, as seen on Completionist. 41 of them have appeared so far. Expect to see “coming soon” transform into a release date on the Steam page. Yakuza Kiwami will join prequel Yakuza 0, which arrived in August. They’re the first games in the long-running series to make the leap from consoles to PC. Last year, Sega said Yakuza and Persona were among the games they wanted to bring to PC. If you’re not familiar with the series, you’re in for a treat. They’re open-world action games and criminal capers, but couldn’t be further from the likes of GTA. They’re surreal, minigame-infested RPGs that jump between slapstick comedy and genuine tragedy, with a protagonist who is simultaneously a hardened criminal and a do-gooder with a heart as big as a continent. Here’s what Phil had to say in his Yakuza 0 review:Yakuza 0 is one of the most eccentric, idiosyncratic and downright charming games around. It deftly moves between drama and humour, between story and action, between arcade action and lengthy, well written pulp dialogue about a man who is incredibly good at punching. There's simply nothing else quite like it, and it's well worth your time.Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the original game, elevated by Yakuza 0’s engine. The prequel is still the best place to start if you’re new to the series, but if you’ve already devoured that, keep an eye out for Kiwami. Cheers, Kotaku.

The Yakuza Kiwami PC release may be closer than we think.
Way, way back in early February 2016, Digital Foundry ventured to the Japanese PlayStation Store and picked up a digital copy of Yakuza Kiwami. We hoped tha…
The Yakuza series combine deep melodrama with exploration through vibrant city streets. Yakuza Kiwami is a remake that recreates the feeling of the original game, adding new features to streamline the experience. It’s a glorious crime story that benefits from a fresh coat of paint.
An entertaining but slightly unbalanced remake whose biggest draw is a regular distraction from one of the series' best stories.
Mad Dragon of Dojima, . Similar to Yakuza 0 earlier this year, Yakuza Kiwami will be receiving a bunch of free DLC following its release at the end of this month. There will be four packs, in total, that each bring about costumes for Kiryu to change into as well a...
