Yakuza fans smell blood in the water as RGG studio accidentally puts the words 'Kiwami 3' on its web
By Dr. Elara Vance | January 01, 0001
Well, the Yakuza fanbase has finally lost it. The mad lads have somehow gotten the idea that Ryu Ga Gotoku studio is set to announce a prettified, Kiwami re-do of Yakuza 3. Why? Well, uh, because Ryu Ga Gotoku studio went and wrote the words "Kiwami [[link]] 3" on its website.
Spotted, as ever, by enterprising , the words "龍が如く 極3"—Japanese for Yakuza Kiwami 3—briefly appeared on the RGG studio site's news page. It's since vanished, but you can easily verify that it was there with Google: the search engine's all-seeing eye cached the page and will still surface it if you ask nicely.
With an RGG Summit event happening next week, it didn't take much for those same Redditors to start theorising that someone at RGG had gotten a little ahead of themselves with an announcement pencilled in for the show. "The summit is next week so they will announce [it] there," wrote .
"I think Kiwami 3 will be revealed at the RGG Summit next week. But, since RGG is busy with Virtua Fighter 6, Stranger than Heaven, and presumably LaD 9, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few years for [[link]] it to be released," wrote a user named .
Which is certainly where I'd announce it, but I gotta be honest: I had previously thought RGG was done Kiwami-fying its games after Kiwami 2, which originally hit PS4 in 2017. The original Yakuza 2 was the last game made in the heyday of the PS2. Everything after it feels a lot more modern, and Yakuza 3 through 5 have all gotten HD releases on modern platforms (save Switch) since their original launches.

Still, it'd certainly be a welcome surprise, and might finally kick my ass into playing through Yakuza the Third. I certainly enjoyed Kiwami 1 and 2 enough to give it a shot.

The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous. I especially love the daily free spins and deposit bonuses. They make playing even more enjoyable and increase my chances of winning big. The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
