For Yakuza fans, the series is currently sitting on a high pedestal with the recent entry in the series – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. And 2024 still has more to offer. First, there is the live-action television series coming to Amazon Prime later this fall. Additionally, RGG Studio is preparing to reveal its next game at Tokyo Game Show next month in September as well.

But at the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Sega & RGG Studio revealed that Yakuza Kiwami is set to launch for Nintendo Switch in October. You can watch the new trailer in the video below:

“Go back to where it all began. The critically acclaimed action adventure epic that started the iconic Yakuza series is here,” the press release reads. “Immerse yourself in a realistic, modern day Japanese entertainment district called Kamurocho as an epic drama unfolds and you’re forced to fight through the streets with varying fighting styles, makeshift weapons, and over-the-top finishing moves.”

Previously, Yakuza Kiwami had a stacked track record being ported to other platforms. In 2019, the game arrived to PC on Steam. And the year following welcomed Xbox One to the list as well. But Nintendo Switch was disregarded as an option by then-series director Daisuke Sato according to one interview. You can read the full report by heading here.
