Sega and RGG updated the official site for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, the updated version of the game with new Yoshitaka Mine side campaign, and the new details go over the story and combat. For example, Kazuma Kiryu’s Dragon of Dojima and Ryukyu combat and potential abilities were teased, while we learned about how Mine’s story goes and his Dark Awakening combat ability.
One of the most notable changes to the main website is more character pages are available. These primarily go over supporting cast members. Among them are profiles for frequent Kiryu rival Goro Majima and others like Yoshinobu Suzuki, a mysterious stranger who resembles Shintaro Kazama, and a shadowy Man in Black.
The other Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties information for both games come up on their Battle pages. The main game section confirmed Kiryu will be able to use the Dragon of Dojima: Kiwami Style and Ryukyu Style to attack, with the latter focused on Okinawan martial arts and using a rochin spear and tinbe shield to attack. His Skill Tree will let someone adjust stats and pick up Special Abilities, and his phone can be customized with stickers to further adjust his power.
Likewise, Mine uses Shoot-Boxing for his combat system. This consists of new moves and ones based on his moveset as an NPC in the original Yakuza 3. There will also be a Shackled Heart gauge that lets him enter a Dark Awakening mode for more brutal attacks. Also, like Kiryu, he has his own Skill Tree that lets someone adjust his stats and abilities.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties will come to the Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
