Publisher SEGA revealed at the Nintendo Partner Direct showcase in August that a port of Yakuza Kiwami, originally released on PlayStation 3 (in Japan only) and PlayStation 4, would be coming to Switch on October 24, 2024. This port will cost $19.99.
Kiwami is a remake of the original Yakuza title for PlayStation 2, with high-definition graphics and expanded side content.
This remaster is likely intended to coincide with the forthcoming Amazon Prime live-action adaptation of the series, which will air its first three episodes the following day on October 25th. The Switch is notably the only platform not to have every main title in the series following its Xbox and PC ports over the last several years, with Nintendo’s console not featuring any of the games.
