Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the original Yakuza and will be available on PS4 in August, Sega today confirmed.

The remake has been “rebuilt from the ground up”, according to Sega. The original Yakuza first appeared on PS2 back in 2005. It was also re-released on PS3 and Wii U.

The remake will feature recreated graphics and re-recorded audio from the game’s original Japanese voice actors. “Added distractions” include the likes of the “Majima Everywhere” system, in which antagonist Goro Majima will occasionally pop up an fight players, alongside 30 minutes of new cutscenes.

Expect Yakuza Kiwami from 29 August on PS4.
