Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2 Coming To Nintendo Switch 2 This November

Although it felt like a lost cause since the initial attempt at shipping a Yakuza game on Nintendo Wii U, the series did prevail eventually. Last year, Sega & RGG Studio announced Yakuza Kiwami will be shipping for the Nintendo Switch. A testament to hearing the demand and delivering on a decent port for the 2017 title. 

Additionally, the firm went ahead and doubled-down on this commitment with Yakuza 0. Even more is that the title will be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut reinvigorates one of the most beloved installments for the new system. Additionally, it also came packed with new content like a co-op mode & additional cutscenes.

Now at the Nintendo Direct this week, RGG Studio revealed that both Yakuza Kiwami alongside Yakuza Kiwami 2 are to ship for Nintendo Switch later this November. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

“Experience Japan’s criminal underground with the classic action-adventure beat ‘em up Yakuza Kiwami 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. Set in the fictional district of Kamurocho, the gripping drama will require you to master unique fighting styles as you journey through a story filled with love, betrayal and explosive combat. Also available on Nintendo Switch 2 will be Yakuza Kiwami, originally released on Nintendo Switch and now featuring enhanced graphics, improved frame rates, and more.”

The press release also discloses that owners of the original Nintendo Switch version for Yakuza Kiwami will receive an exclusive discount for the next-generation version. “Anyone who has the original Yakuza Kiwami on Nintendo Switch can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade at a discounted price!”
