The Yakuza community is abuzz with rumors that Yakuza Kiwami 3 could be in the works after a new post on Ichiban’s social media account. The post features a new model of Mack Shinozuka, a fan-favorite character from Yakuza 3.
Mack, who went from track star to professional photographer and owner of the photojournalism site MacSiv, is a memorable character from the original game. What fans are excited about is how detailed this new model looks. While it’s not unusual for new models to be created for promotional material, RGG Studio is known for reusing assets, so fans think this could hint at something bigger, like Yakuza Kiwami 3.
Adding to the mystery is Ichiban’s own social media account. It hasn’t been officially confirmed to be directed by RGG Studio, but its dedication to accurately portraying characters and maintaining the vibe of the series has convinced many fans that it has input from the studio.
The idea of Yakuza Kiwami 3 is super exciting for fans, especially since RGG has done such a great job with the previous remakes, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2. A Yakuza 3 remake could fix some of the original’s problems, like the pacing. and the date. images, while adding new content to match the current standards of the series.
For now, everything is just speculation as Sega and RGG Studio have not made any official announcement. But the idea of a revamped Yakuza 3 with modern updates is definitely something fans are eager to see.
