Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a 2026 action-adventure game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. A part of the Like a Dragon series, the game comprises two distinct campaigns: Yakuza Kiwami 3, a remake of the 2009 video game Yakuza 3; and Dark Ties, a spin-off title taking place before the events of Yakuza 3. As in the original game, Kiwami 3 continues the story of Kazuma Kiryu, following the events of Yakuza 2 and its remake Kiwami 2. Kiryu, after retiring from his life of crime to become an orphanage caretaker, is forced to protect his new family from the threats of Japan's underworld. Dark Ties stars Yoshitaka Mine, a major antagonist of Yakuza 3, and chronicles his rise to power as a yakuza.
