ヤクザキワミ3、ファンがRGG公式サイトのリークを発見し、発売に向けた動きか

It sounds like the Yakuza community is buzzing with excitement—and well-founded speculation—over a potential Yakuza Kiwami 3 announcement. While the official confirmation is still pending, several key clues point to a possible reveal at the upcoming RGG Summit on September 24, which is now just days away.

Here’s a breakdown of why fans are so convinced this isn't just another rumor:

🔍 The Leak: What Actually Happened

• A brief mention of "Yakuza Kiwami 3" appeared on the official Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG) website—likely as part of a teaser or internal draft.
• The page has since been removed, but not before being captured by multiple fans on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit (e.g., r/likeadragn, r/yakuzagames).
• The mention was minimal—just a single line or header—but enough to trigger massive speculation, especially given the historical context and timing.

📅 Why This Feels Like More Than a Hoax

• RGG Summit & RGG Direct: The event is scheduled for September 24, and it’s traditionally when RGG Studio drops major news—especially for the Like a Dragon franchise.
• Past Precedents: RGG has used the Summit to announce remakes and new entries, including Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
• Director Yokoyama’s 2024 Comment: In April 2024, Masayoshi Yokoyama (director of the Like a Dragon series) said:

  “I’ll just say that I think I’ll do Kiwami 3 at some point. I’m sure I’ll do it someday.”
  While vague, this was notably more direct than past responses—and now feels like a quiet confirmation of intent.

🎮 What Would Yakuza Kiwami 3 Likely Be?

• A full remaster of Yakuza 3 (2009), originally released on PlayStation 3.
• Likely to include:
  • Modernized graphics and gameplay (like previous Kiwami titles).
  • Updated combat, new features (e.g., stamina system improvements, enhanced animations).
  • Possible inclusion of new content or bonus features (e.g., additional story paths, character DLC).
  • Likely release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam)—following RGG’s current cross-platform strategy.

🎯 Fan Expectations

• Many fans are hoping for a 2025 release, possibly in early 2025, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original Yakuza series (2005–2025).
• Others speculate that the Kiwami 3 announcement could be a surprise reveal at the RGG Direct, potentially with gameplay footage, a teaser trailer, or a release window.

What’s Next?

With the RGG Summit just days away, expect:

• A major announcement about Yakuza Kiwami 3.
• Possibly a full reveal trailer.
• Teasers for other RGG projects like Stranger Than Heaven and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (if not already confirmed).

🔔 Stay tuned:
The RGG Summit 2024 will air live on September 24 at 10 PM JST (7 AM ET / 4 AM PT). Fans around the world will be watching closely—especially for any mention of Kiwami 3.

If you’re a Yakuza fan, this might just be the most anticipated event in franchise history.
