Genre: Action | Release: December 8, 2025
Released today, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut takes the acclaimed prequel featuring Kiryu and Majima to the brightly lit Japan of the late 1980s and expands it with new story scenes. The two protagonists switch flexibly between multiple fighting styles and use everything from punches to improvised weapons. Another new feature is an online mode that makes the typical Yakuza experience playable together for the first time: in the so-called Red Light Raid, you slaughter hordes of enemies. Players can also experience numerous mini-games and side activities that make the lively game world even more varied. Plus, for the first time the game is fully voiced in English and new subtitles for German, French and more.
