PS5 Remake of Yakuza 3 Divides Critics with New Dark Ties DLC
A PS5 remake of the 2009 PS3 game Yakuza 3, named Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, launches February 11, 2026 across PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. While it has received generally positive but mixed feedback (OpenCritic around 75/100 with 72% of critics recommending), reviewers remain divided on whether the remake surpasses the original, with IGN’s Tristan Ogilvie giving it a 7/10 and calling it enjoyable but not as well-rounded as the series’ best entries.
