SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have added multiple playlists featuring tracks from the Ryu ga Gotoku The Live -Ikizama- concerts on Spotify. Ryu ga Gotoku The Live -Ikizama- was previously held from May 16 to 17 at the Kanadevia Hall venue in Tokyo, and luckily for Like a Dragon fans, they can listen to the tracks if they missed out on the concert.
As the name suggests, Ryu ga Gotoku The Live -Ikizama- began with the theme song of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, “Ikizama feat. NAOKI.” The theme song and 39 other songs are included in the Venue BGM Special Playlist. The second playlist includes the setlist from the concert with 28 songs that were performed live. However, this playlist doesn’t have the live concert recordings and are instead the initial digital releases.
What’s more, all three episodes of the Yakuza Powered by Nihon Touitsu live-action drama series with English subtitles on YouTube. Serving as a prequel to Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, Yakuza Powered by Nihon Touitsu is a special collaborative series between RGG Studio and the creators of the hit Japanese video series Nihon Touitsu, which depicts Japan’s yakuza society.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is available now for $59.99 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. There are physical and digital editions, and early purchases include the Ichiban Legendary Lad DLC. A Digital Deluxe Edition costs $74.99 and includes several DLC packs (also sold separately).
Final Weapon reviewed Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties and gave it a 3/5 score, noting that the game is “a remake and new side story that both improves and subtracts from the original Yakuza 3, making it a mixed bag of a title for those who were wanting a definitive and improved version of the PS3 game.”
