Synopsis

The third chapter in SEGA’s sweeping action series sees Kazuma pulled back into the underworld of the Yakuza to protect those he cares about.

Having finally escaped the dark world of Japan’s Yakuza crime syndicate, Kazuma and Haruka have left the streets of Tokyo to start a new life for themselves. Dragged back into this criminal world to defend his loved ones, Yakuza 3 sees Kazuma face brutal combat on the streets of Okinawa, a neon-covered city within Tokyo’s walls. Renowned Japanese author Masayoshi Yokoyama returns to the Yakuza series with an engaging criminal plotline told with the original Japanese voiceovers intact.

Yakuza’s typical authenticity is now on show across Tokyo, with restaurants, bars and shops adding a sense of immersion to Yakuza 3’s detailed world. Players can also explore each town in new ways thanks to the free camera mode and fast-paced chase sequences. While exploring the far reaches of Tokyo, a seamless combat system can kick in at any moment, allowing players to perform brutal combat moves against the multiple enemies waiting for them on the streets.

Yakuza 3 continues the dark and mature plot of the ongoing Yakuza saga, while creating a more immersive and detailed depiction of the streets of Toyko.
