A listing for Yakuza Kiwami 3 briefly appeared as a category on RGG Studio’s official site today. Fans grabbed screenshots before the entry vanished, and those captures spread fast across social feeds. The timing is notable because RGG has its Summit and a Tokyo Game Show showcase next week. If the slip was real, a reveal could come during that showcase.
Yakuza Kiwami is the modern remake of the original Yakuza, rebuilt by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. It follows Kazuma Kiryu, who serves ten years after taking the fall and then hunts missing friends while protecting the people he cares about. Kiwami 2 remade Yakuza 2, with Kiryu drawn back into the fray to prevent a violent clan war between the Tojo and the Omi. Both remakes modernized the early stories while keeping Kiryu at the heart of the action.
Kiwami 2’s remake arrived in 2017, so players haven’t had a mainline Kiryu game in years. While the spinoff The Man Who Erased His Name let fans step into Kiryu’s shoes, Kiwami 3 would mark a proper return to the mainline series. That gap makes any hint of the third remake feel especially significant to the community. With RGG’s Summit scheduled for next week, the timing aligns with a plausible reveal window. Still, the listing disappeared quickly, so caution is wise until RGG confirms.
Nothing is official yet, but the brief listing has already fired up speculation. Either way, fans will be watching the Summit for a formal answer. By the time the showcase finishes, we should know whether Kiryu is headed back for another Kiwami treatment.
