After 16 years, Yakuza 3 is getting a much-needed remake and RGG going the extra mile with a new expansion making one of the series' most popular villains playable for the first time

But what did they do to my boy Rikiya?

After leaking the title last week, Sega has confirmed that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is real, and the remake is coming with a brand new expansion focusing on the game's antagonist.

RGG Studio held its RGG Summit stream for Tokyo Game Show 2025 earlier today, and during the event it was revealed that yes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is happening. It's coming out on February 11, 2026 and to make things more confusing, the series is back to using the Yakuza name for this one instead of "Like a Dragon". This remake follows the Kiwami way by remaking the game from scratch while introducing new scenes to flesh out the story with new minigames (including actually letting you do tasks at the orphanage) and fighting styles for good measure.

This remake also introduces an English dub to the game with Yong Yea returning as Kiryu and Goofy himself, Bill Farmer, returning as Makoto Date. However, due to some of the recastings, there are some new looks for the characters. My boy Rikiya looks like he got hit with the Spider-Man Remastered treatment making him into a pretty boy, while Nakahara has de-aged about 20 years.

Hell yeah, super excited for this! Yakuza games rock. I'm glad their adding an English dub. I'll definitely play it when it releases.
