Yakuza 0’s Director’s Cut Has 26 Minutes of Extra Cutscenes PS5, PS4 Fans Will Want to See

by

It appears that Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut has been confirmed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 at this time. However, considering the words used by the creator of Super Mario, it seems likely that the game might also be released on other platforms later, but only for a limited period on the Nintendo console.

In the official announcement, the organization stated that the prequel will initially be available on the newly released console, suggesting it’s planned for release at a specific time on this platform.

Moreover, this development is exciting since it has been verified that the port will feature an extra 26 minutes of cutscenes that diehard franchise enthusiasts won’t want to miss.

The Yakuza series has a deep-rooted history on PlayStation, and Sony itself played a role in localizing Yakuza 5 and boosting its popularity in the Western market, effectively reviving the series’ success outside of Japan.

Makoto Suzuki, the producer, shared with Famitsu magazine that the fresh material focuses on Kazuma Kiryu, a character long known to us, and his intricate bond with Akira Nishikiyama. Additionally, it includes sequences featuring Daisaku Kuze and Goro Majima. Interestingly, this content was initially planned but not included in the initial project.

In the new edition, you’ll find a multiplayer mode called “Red Light Raid.” This mode boasts 60 characters from the series’ past that you can control. Although it was designed primarily for online gaming, you have the option to play it alone as well.

It’s intriguing to know how SEGA plans to manage this when they release it across various platforms. Will the fresh material be provided as an update for the PS4 version of Yakuza 0, which has been around for nearly a decade, or will we see a new PS5 edition that includes all the extra content in one package?
