Yakuza Kiwami comes to Switch on Oct. 24th, 2024 (UPDATE)
The remake of the original Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami, first released on other platforms in 2016, has been announced for Switch. The SEGA action-adventure game will be released on October 24th, 2024. Check out the trailer for the Switch version above and details below.
Go back to where it all began. The critically acclaimed action adventure epic that started the iconic Yakuza series is here. 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. Yakuza Kiwami is coming to Nintendo Switch Oct. 24.
If you’d like to see some more footage of Yakuza Kiwami as it runs on Switch, you can get a decent look at the title in the video below. Fast-forward to the 13:14 mark for off-screen footage, followed by direct-feed gameplay as well.
UPDATE: For those hoping that there would be a physical release for Yakuza Kiwami on Switch, we’ve got some bad news. It seems there won’t be a physical release in any region, at least for right now. You never know when a boutique retailer like LRG might swoop in and announce something, but as of right now, we only have indications that the game is eShop-only.
