Sega, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties ko February 12, 2026 ko PlayStation 5 aur PlayStation 4 ke liye release karne jaa rahi hai. Isme 2009 ke classic Yakuza 3 ka remake aur Kiryu ke adversary, Yoshitaka Mine ke saath ek bilkul naya story bundle kiya gaya hai. Haal hi mein hue ek press event mein, humein dono games ko hands-on karne ka mauka mila, jisme humne updated Okinawan story, naya Dark Ties narrative, aur kai expanded gameplay systems ko explore kiya.
Kiryu ke saath Okinawa ko revisit karna
Yakuza Kiwami 3 mein, Kazuma Kiryu Morning Glory Orphanage chalakar ek shaant zindagi jeene ki koshish karta hai, lekin woh Ryudo Family, jo orphanage ki zameen par kabza karna chahti hai, ke saath ek conflict mein phans jaata hai. Demo ne players ko Ryudo patriarch Shigeru Nakahara aur captain Rikiya Shimabukuro ke saath confrontations ka anubhav karne diya. Remake mein ek notable addition ek naya cutscene hai jo Rikiya ki Kiryu ke prati perception ko dikhata hai jab woh ek local shopping district leader ko bachata hai. Yeh scene apne subtle facial animations ke liye khaas hai, jo original release mein maujood na hone wale respect mein badlav ko capture karta hai.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 mein combat ek central feature bana hua hai, jise ab Ryukyu Style se enhance kiya gaya hai, jo Kiryu ko alag-alag buttons par mapped kiye gaye weapons ke beech seamlessly switch karne deta hai. Simple attacks bhi responsive feel hote hain, jabki Heat Actions aur Dragon Boost system brawls mein cinematic flair add karte hain. Dragon Finisher, khaas taur par, fights ko ek visually striking move ke saath end karta hai jo Kiryu ke Dragon of Dojima ke iconic status ko reinforce karta hai.
Orphanage mein zindagi aur Player Choice
Combat ke bahar, Morning Glory Orphanage mein Kiryu ki zimmedariyan gameplay ka ek bada hissa hain. Players bachchon ke saath rozmarra ke tasks jaise cooking, sewing, aur homework mein madad karne ke through interact karte hain, jabki meaningful conversations trust build karti hain jo Kiryu ke Daddy Rank mein reflect hota hai. Jaise-jaise trust badhta hai, har bachcha unique Family Time Events unlock karta hai, jo chote lekin emotionally grounded moments create karte hain jo Kiryu ke caregiver ke role ko emphasize karte hain. Yeh interactions intense combat sequences ko shaant, narrative-driven gameplay ke saath balance karne mein madad karte hain.
Remake mein Bad Boy Dragon bhi introduce kiya gaya hai, jo ek team-based combat mode hai jisme Kiryu Tokyo Night Terrors se Okinawa ko bachane ke liye Haisai Girls gang ko lead karta hai. Total Annihilation aur Turf Wars modes experience mein bade-scale battles add karte hain, jo players ko multi-enemy encounters mein AI allies ke saath coordinate karne dete hain. Yeh expansion Yakuza series ke traditionally street-level action mein ek naya layer of strategy lata hai.
Dark Ties aur Mine ki perspective explore karna
Dark Ties Kiryu se focus hata kar Yoshitaka Mine par shift karta hai, jo ek perspective offer karta hai jo series mein kam hi explore kiya gaya hai. Mine ka detached aur analytical personality Kiryu ke empathetic nature ke saath sharply contrast karta hai, aur story uske inner monologues ko emphasize karti hai, jo uske motivations aur personal code mein insight deti hai. Yeh approach ek aise character mein depth add karta hai jise aksar sirf ek antagonist ke roop mein dekha jaata hai.
Mine ka combat style shoot boxing par based hai, jo fast, fluid strikes aur grappling techniques ki anumati deta hai. Shackled Heart gauge players ko Dark Awakening mode mein enter karne deta hai, jo Mine ke precise movements ko zyada aggressive, brutal attacks mein transform karta hai. Yeh duality Mine ke composed exterior aur uske personality ke darker, zyada violent side ko reflect karta hai.
Narrative mein Kanda Damage Control bhi hai, jisme Mine Ryo Kanda, ek Tojo Clan lieutenant, ki public image ko improve karne ke liye kaam karta hai. Missions complete karne se Kanda ka Charisma Rank badhta hai aur Drink Links unlock hote hain, jo players ko Kanda ke personality ko aur explore karne aur uske zyada human, aksar humorous side ko dekhne dete hain. Yeh system Mine ki story ko complement karta hai, jo cold strategy aur personal relationships ke beech interaction ko highlight karta hai.
Launch par kya expect karein
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties ka aim ek classic Yakuza title ke polished remake aur ek original story offer karna hai jo series ke universe ko deepen karta hai. Updated combat mechanics, expanded orphanage interactions, aur naye team-based battle modes additional gameplay variety provide karte hain. Meanwhile, Dark Ties ek alag tone present karta hai, jo character study aur precise combat par focus karta hai. PS5 aur PS4 par release hone se yeh package long-time fans aur naye players dono ke liye accessible ho jaata hai.
