'The Yakuza Remastered Collection' (PS4) Debuts Today With Yakuza 3, Additional Titles to Follow - Trailer

The Yakuza Remastered Collection includes Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5, all with graphical/performance upgrades as well as previously cut content.

Kiryu is back, and he's looking better than ever.

The Yakuza Remastered Collection is far from a typical console generation port. In addition to graphical and performance upgrades (720p>1080p at 30>60fps), all three games have gone through a rigorous re-localization process. The English scripts for each game have been reviewed, revised, and even rewritten in some cases, and content previously cut from the Western releases of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 have been re-added in The Yakuza Remastered Collection.

In Yakuza 3, this means the Mahjong, Shogi, Massage Parlor, and ever-popular Cabaret minigames, as well as a collection of Substories cut from the original release, are now available in the West for the first time!

Several quality-of-life changes have also been added for each release in the collection, including a Substory tracker on the map and the ability to toggle between English and Japanese written lyrics during Karaoke.


The Yakuza Remastered Collection Features:

  • Complete the Journey of the Dragon: The Yakuza Remastered Collection brings the final missing chapters in Kiryu's story to the PS4. From Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, players can now experience the full story of The Dragon of Dojima, all on a single platform.
  • Remastered and Refreshed: All three games in the collection have received impressive graphical and performance upgrades, from 720p at 30fps to 1080p at 60fps and have also gone through a rigorous re-localization process. Missing content from the original Western releases has been re-added to the remastered versions, and the full English scripts have been reviewed, revised, and had portions rewritten for accuracy alongside the original Japanese releases.

Yakuza 3 is available to download and play immediately after purchasing the collection - Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5 will become available on October 29, 2019 and February 11, 2020 respectively. These games will automatically unlock on these dates for all digital purchases of The Yakuza Remastered Collection.

A limited run of The Yakuza Remastered Collection: Day One Edition will release on February 11, 2020 for $59.99, and contains Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, & Yakuza 5 on two disks in a striking red collectible case emblazoned with Kiryu's trademark dragon tattoo. This release marks the first time Yakuza 5 will be available in a physical format in the West, so the collection also includes a genuine Yakuza 5 PS3 case; after 5 years since the game's original release, series collectors can finally fill the gap in their library! Supplies are very limited, so get your order in while supplies last!
