What can you tell us about the new story player can explore with ‘The Truth of Goro Majima’? Finally, since there’s new dialog recorded for new scenes, you’d probably be able to tell the difference between the “old” dialog and the “new” dialog, sheerly because they’ve gotten so good! So it’s really cool that we had the opportunity to bring most of these actors back to fully re-record their lines. Furthermore, these actors have been playing these roles now for over 10 years, and they’re way more comfortable in them than they probably were on what was only their second outing back in 2006. With the visuals upgrading from what came out two console generations ago, there are places where just laying the existing dialog over the newly created scenes wouldn’t even match the level of expression and detail we’ve got now. What was the reason behind these changes?

We learnt that this remake will also have re-recorded dialogue and some remade cutscenes. By comparison, everything else feels pretty minor, but there are of course some changes to the minigames, the substories, and naturally, the localization. The biggest and most obvious change is that this game is made in the studio’s Dragon Engine, so everything about the visuals, the battle system, and the experience system is completely revamped. What are some of the major changes that this remake brings? Secondly, Majima Construction is hanging out in West Park, and you can play a completely revamped clan creator minigame from Yakuza 6: The Song of Life to defend Majima’s build site from a bunch of wrestlers, and last but not least, we’ve got the Majima Saga, three brand new chapters featuring Majima that take place between Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2. For one, the cabaret club storyline we last saw in Yakuza 0 picks up 18 years later, this time with Kiryu in the manager’s role. We didn’t put Majima Everywhere back in, but we’ve certainly added a whole bunch of a new content that branches out from the main story, just like it. Will we be seeing such changes from the original with Yakuza Kiwami 2 as well? With Yakuza Kiwami, we got the new ‘Majima Everywhere’ feature.

To learn more about these changes and the game’s development, Gamingbolt reached out to the developers and most of the questions were answered by Localization Producer Scott Strichart except for one which was answered by SEGA’s Senior PR Manager Jacob Nahin. Quite a bit will be different from this game including improved visuals and some gameplay changes.
Yakuza kiwami majima stopped showing up series#
For newer fans of the Yakuza series, the fact that the older games in the series are getting remastered one by one is great news! After Yakuza Kiwami was released back in 2016, the remake of the second game in the series, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is set to release worldwide in August of this year.
