The mention has since been scrubbed, but was captured on social media, as seen below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p>it&#8217;s real <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KXKDMKxhyr\">https:\/\/t.co\/KXKDMKxhyr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4fXXFMs77H\">pic.twitter.com\/4fXXFMs77H<\/a>\u2014 tdk (@tdkumon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tdkumon\/status\/1968278220245176605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s been quite a few years since the Japanese team last remade some mainline entries in the Yakuza series, as Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 brought back the first two games on PS4. In April of last year, series director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2024\/04\/next-like-a-dragon-game-isnt-kiwami-3-but-the-yakuza-3-remake-is-happening-sooner-or-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masayoshi Yokoyama said it&#8217;ll &#8220;do a Kiwami 3<\/a> at some point. I think we\u2019ll definitely do it sooner or later.&#8221; It now seems like RGG Studio is ready to show off its work.<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner, and Sony is heavily rumoured to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/tags\/state-of-play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>State of Play<\/strong><\/a> livestream taking place next week. Past remakes from RGG Studio, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/like_a_dragon_ishin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Like a Dragon: Ishin<\/a>, have debuted during Sony showcases. There&#8217;s also an RGG Summit scheduled for 24th September, which is another potential place for the announcement to take place alongside updates on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/stranger_than_heaven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stranger Than Heaven<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Originally released for PS3 in March 2010, the third instalment did receive a remaster for PS4 along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/yakuza_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yakuza 4<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/yakuza_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yakuza 5<\/a>, but the Kiwami re-releases have been going one step further with true remakes and enhancements for the classics.<\/p>\n<p>If a Yakuza Kiwami 3 is indeed real, there&#8217;s a strong chance the reveal takes place next week.
