With the upcoming release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, the digital edition of Yakuza 3 Remastered will soon no longer be available as a standalone purchase, publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced. Going forward, Yakuza 3 Remastered will only be available as part of the Yakuza Complete Series bundle.
Yakuza 3 Remastered is currently available digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and Microsoft Store for $19.99.
The Yakuza Complete Series bundle—which includes Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, Yakuza 5 Remastered, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut—is available for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One, and PC via Steam for $129.99.
Alternatively, PlayStation users can purchase the physical Yakuza Remastered Collection—which includes Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, and Yakuza 5 Remastered—via retailers like Amazon, Play-Asia, or VGP for around $29.99.
Here is the full message from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio on the standalone delisting:
The release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is now less than one month away. Everyone at the studio has poured their hearts into creating this title, and we are truly looking forward to the day everybody can finally play it.
We would also like to express our deep gratitude for the warm support and respectful feedback we receive from communities around the world. While we may not be able to reply to every comment individually, please know that we hear all of your voices.
We place great importance on staying faithful to our creative direction, and we hope you will enjoy the completely new experiences we have envisioned for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.
Those who already own Yakuza 3 Remastered will still be able to continue playing it. For those new to the series who wish to experience the original version, it will be available with purchase of the Yakuza Complete Series bundle.
We hope you look forward to our upcoming releases as well. Thank you again for your support and feedback.
