THE CREATOR’S VOICE SERIES RETURNS WITH A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT YAKUZA KIWAMI 3 & DARK TIES

The video interview series “Creator’s Voice” returns today with a brand-new instalment, once again giving fans a peek behind the curtain at how Nintendo publishing and development partners are creating games for Nintendo Switch 2.

Featuring game makers from around the world discussing their creative process and their unique approach to developing their games, the series’ latest entry focuses on the upcoming SEGA game Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties launching on 12th February.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Director/Executive Producer Masayoshi Yokoyama brings viewers back to the bustling streets of Okinawa and Tokyo as he discusses the development of what is described as an “extreme remake” of the game Yakuza 3. Yokoyama talks about the game’s reimagined street brawl combat gameplay, newly added scenes that deliver more depth and emotion to the story, and new and enhanced side experiences to further immerse players in the world. He also discusses Dark Ties, an entirely separate game that follows an all-new story starring Yakuza 3 antagonist Yoshitaka Mine.
