Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Shows More Side Content Sega and Ryū ga Gotoku Studio released additional screenshots and information for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties . The new details cover more of the side content available in the game, which is planned to release worldwide for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 on February 12, 2026. The companies also announced that a livestream presentation for the game will be held at 5pm PST / 8pm EST on December 22, 2025, on YouTube and Twitch . Yakuza 3 follows Kazuma Kiryu as he attempts to run an orphanage in Okinawa despite attempts to convert the land it is on into a seaside resort. While in Okinawa, he is able to train at the Miyazato Dojo, under the tutelage of Miya-san, owner of the Chura Bar. While a skilled fighter, he does not have many students, meaning the bar is his main source of income. He helps teach Kiryu the Ryukyu combat style inspired by Okinawan martial arts. As he improves, Kiryu can take promotion exams and learn new techniques. Meanwhile, Kiryu can also join up with the Haisai Girls, a female biker gang that helps protect Okinawa from other gangs such as the Tokyo Night Terrors. Kiryu is recruited by the gang's young leader Tsubasa and must help lead them. As part of the gang, players can participate in Baddies Battles with up to five allies as well as larger Rumbles involving up to twenty members taking on up to a hundred foes, while finding additional members, giving them new weapons, and upgrading their uniforms and bikes. New members can be found around town by scouting them, completing substories, and playing mini-games, with recruitable members including familiar faces from the series. Each recruit has their own special abilities. Players form up to four squads, each with a leader and four other members. During battles, squads will retreat if their leader is defeated. Bikes and uniforms can be customised, allowing players to create their own personal look for the gang. In addition, the new Dark Ties storyline, which follows Yoshitaka Mine in Kamurocho as he rises through the ranks of the Tojo Clan, has additional side content. This includes the Hell’s Arena, an underground fight club that Mine decides to bring by entering the arena himself. This pits him in brutal fights against enemies, where he is required to knock the opponent out within a time limit, as well as Survival Hell races, where he must advance through a dungeon, avoid hunters, and defeat a boss to reach the goal.

Kyouran Makaism Details Base Facilities, Systems Nippon Ichi Software released new screenshots and details for its upcoming action RPG Kyouran Makaism . The update covers some of the facilities and features players can make use of in the same, many of which share similarities to those of the Disgaea series. Kyouran Makaism follows veteran mercenary N.A., who is summoned by the Superlative Netherworld overlord Tisiel. She tasks N.A. with finding the thief who stole the First Radiance Pudding, which was created by Tisiel’s deceased father. The game sees N.A. use seven different weapon types — fists, swords, spears, axes, bows, guns, and staffs — each with their own attack ranges and actions against groups of enemies. Each weapon also has four different special techniques to utilise against foes. The game features a level cap of 9,999, but also includes elements like Reincarnation that returns a character to level 1 while maintaining various bonuses and attribute gains. The Overlord’s Castle serves the game's primary hub. Facilities and features are unlocked over the course of the game, including the Chara World, Item World, and Debate Assembly. The Chara World sees Tisiel and her familiars advance through sugoroku (board game)-style dungeons within N.A.; different events take place on each square in the dungeon, and can lead to increases in N.A.'s stats or enforced battles. Meanwhile, the Item World allows players to upgrade N.A.'s gear. Players take on enemies within each item, and by defeating them can increase the item’s level and acquire “Item Points” to further strengthen them as the players chooses. Players can also find inhabitants called Innocents within Item Worlds, which also boost item stats. During the game, players can form contracts with captured monsters, allowing them to fight alongside the player. The Breeder allows players to form new contracts, as well as "extract" monsters for mana instead. In addition, players will gain the ability to use Magichange and Reincarnation strengthening options on monsters. Elsewhere, the Debate Assembly lets players propose and enact various requests, such as increasing experience points received or allowing them to carry more items. Doing so requires they win a debate against opposing monsters, though players give swing things in their favour through bribes and other methods. Finally, the Cheat Shop lets players modify various parameters in the game, such as enemy’s strength and reward ratios. Kyouran Makaism is currently planned to release in Japan on January 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. A western release has not yet been announced.
