Notice Regarding Certain Visual Expressions and Issues in the Demo Version of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

Regarding the currently available demos of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, we have received user feedback on certain visual expressions and technical issues.

Please note that this demo was created during the development phase of the full product. As a result, there are areas where the presentation does not fully meet the quality of the final release, as well as instances where unintended expressions remain due to unresolved issues.

One specific example that has already received significant feedback is the visual presentation and lighting around the Kubochi River area in the Downtown Ryukyu stage. At present, this issue reflects a state in which the intended visual expression has not yet been properly realized due to a bug, and quality improvement adjustments planned for the full release have not been applied.

In the full version, this issue will be addressed through bug fixes and quality enhancements, scheduled for implementation in Patch 1.11, which will be distributed on the release date. Ideally, we would have liked to deliver not only the full product but also the demo version in a fully polished state. However, we sincerely apologize for any concern this oversight may have caused our players.

In the full version, in addition to the points mentioned above, we have implemented further quality improvements across many aspects of the game. We hope you will continue to look forward to Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.

Thank you for your continued support of the Like a Dragon & Yakuza series.
