The Yakuza series has moved into stranger and greater pastures as it has transferred into its current Like a Dragon era with new protagonist Ichiban, but fans still love Kiryu and Switch players will be able to experience his origin in the series soon. Today, Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that Yakuza Kiwami will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, and it will be hitting the platform in October 2024.

Sega and RGG Studio announced Yakuza Kiwami for Nintendo Switch during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase this week. The game comes to Nintendo Switch on October 24, 2024.

We loved Kiwami’s PC port back in 2019, so it will be interesting to see if the Switch version brings similar quality. Stay tuned for more updates leading up to Yakuza Kiwami’s release on Nintendo Switch this coming October.
