Yakuza Kiwami 3 Director: Balance Respect for the Original with Bold Modernization

RGG’s Ryosuke Horii says Yakuza Kiwami 3 will carefully balance honoring the original Yakuza 3 with meaningful changes, addressing its rough edges, and employing a younger development team to avoid nostalgia bias. The remake adds new content like the Dark Ties campaign and aims to modernize combat, signaling a more ambitious revival rather than a simple retread.
