Review Yakuza: Kiwami - The Successor to a Much Stronger Game
Not so extreme
Republished on Wednesday, 10th August, 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of August's PS Plus Extra, Premium lineup. The original text follows. Coming off the back of the fantastic Yakuza 0 – which launched earlier in the year – Yakuza: Kiwami feels too much like a quick and dirty...

Guide Best Yakuza / Like a Dragon Games Ranked: Which Yakuza Games to Play and Where to Start
That's rad!
SEGA's Yakuza or Like a Dragon series has been around since the days of the PlayStation 2, but only over the last half a decade or so has it really started to seep into the consciousness of a wider Western audience. This is largely thanks to 2017's Yakuza 0, which sparked a whole new wave of interest on PlayStation 4. It helped, of...

Return ticket
It feels like we only just completed Yakuza 0, but you know what? We can't wait to go back to Kamurocho next month. We were worried that having two Yakuza titles release in the same year would amount to overkill, but we've decided that we're more than ready to bust an extra thousand heads as Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza: Kiwami, which is due...
News Yakuza Kiwami's 'Majima Everywhere' System Sounds Completely Nuts
The hunt is on
"Mad Dog" Majima is back in Yakuza: Kiwami, although this time around he's not a playable character like he is in Yakuza 0. For those out of the loop, Kiwami is a remake of the first Yakuza title on PlayStation 2, so its story has already been told - barring one crazy Majima-related detail. The remake features a mental-sounding new...

Pre-order for a steelbook case
We're all massive Yakuza fanboys here at Push Square Towers, and we're not ashamed to admit it. The good news is that, with the release of Yakuza 0, there are now a lot more followers of Kazuma Kiryu and crew than there used to be, which means you may be excited to learn that Yakuza Kiwami is launching on 29th August...

About The Game
In 2005, a legend was born on the PlayStation 2 – the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, in his video game debut with Yakuza. Now, 11 years after that release, a new generation of players will be able to experience the incomparable action and drama of the Yakuza series with the rebuilt-from-scratch HD remake exclusive to PlayStation 4, Yakuza Kiwami.
“Kiwami” literally translates to “Extreme” and with good reason: The game is packed with new features and content beyond just a casual up-rez of the original game. Kiwami adds tons of new story depth over the PS2 original, new distractions around the in-game setting of Kamurocho, added side quests, updated mechanics and combat, and much more.
