There are additional campaign missions and story elements to play through as well. Yakuza Kiwami is a re-release and remaster of the original PS2 release. The story originally takes place in 1995 following Kazuma Kiryu, and follows the events that unfold over the course of 10 years that changes his life forever. Sega has labeled the game as the most “extreme” version of the original release.
The combat has also been overhauled based on the Yakuza 0 battle mechanics. So it’s taking the old story but updating it with a few new quirks, including the whole Majima thing where he pops up everywhere throughout the game and you’ll have to fight him throughout the game.
They’ve also tossed in a few new mini-games, including the pocket circuit car racing, the new MesuKing: Battle Bug Beauties, all new hostesses to interact with, all new side-quests, and all new re-recorded Japanese dialogue.
You can look for Yakuza Kiwami to launch on the PS4 in the West starting August 29th.
