Yakuza Kiwami 3 Will Be The Last Kiwami Game, Says RGG Studio Head
Instead, there may be “a new series on a different line”.
Alongside continuing the stories of Kazuma Kiryu and introducing the world to Ichiban Kasuga, Sega and RGG Studio has spent about a decade bringing back some of the older Yakuza / Like A Dragon games for modern audiences. Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, out on 12th February, is the latest of those remakes, following on (naturally) from Kiwami and Kiwami 2. But it sounds like, rather than moving onto the fourth game, the end of the Kiwami series is here (thanks, Push Square!).
In a Ryusta TV livestream broadcast earlier today, RGG Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama said that “I think ‘Yakuza Kiwami 3’ will be the last one, and the ‘Kiwami line will come to an end.” (translation from u/Dastanovich on Reddit.)

Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) – Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
Nadal it’s cracked up to be?
Having never been any sort of tennis fan for my entire childhood — Wimbledon always seemed a bit posh to me — I fell completely and utterly in love with the sport in my teenage years through the medium of video games.
Yes. Video games. They’re a whole thing! And just as has been the case with American football, basketball, and ice hockey, my initial interest in tennis was stoked by a game; in this case, the incredible Super Tennis on SNES.

Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined?
Imaginative or uninspired?
After a slate of HD-2D remakes, Dragon Quest has brought another of its past entries into the modern era, this time with a doll-like, diorama-style 3D look in Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined.
This complete overhaul of the 2000 PlayStation RPG, which also came out on the 3DS in 2013 and 2016 (Japan and the West respectively) delivers a streamlined version of one of the longest games in the series, smoothing out the pacing, improving combat, making battles faster, and even cutting a few “optional” scenarios.
