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.
Along with Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami (the remaster of Yakuza), Yakuza Kiwami 2 (the remaster of Yakuza 2), which are already available with Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass for PC, Windows 10 and Steam, soon gamers will be able to conveniently access and experience the entirety of the Kiryu saga of the Yakuza series on the Xbox and PC platforms for the first time in 1080p and 60 fps either individually or as a bundle.
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 console and PC. 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.
Currently available on PS4, The Yakuza Remastered Collection is coming to Xbox One (Xbox Game Pass) and PC (Xbox Game Pass for PC, Windows 10 and Steam) on January 28, 2021
