SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released a new gameplay trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties during its dedicated Direct presentation, revealing more insight into Kiwami 3’s new Bad Boy Dragon content and Dark Ties’ Hell’s Arena fight club. This is in addition to the previously revealed content for Morning Glory Orphanage and Kanda Damage Control.
In Bad Boy Dragon, Yakuza Kiwami 3 protagonist Kazuma Kiryu assembles a motley crew of delinquents to rule the streets and protect Okinawa. Kiryu join the Haisai Girls motorcycle gang as their new leader and set forth in Baddies Battles.
