I can’t count the number of awe-inspiring moments I encountered when playing Oblivion for the first time around 2007. Shooting the arrow into the Imperial Sewer bucket and watching it tilt under the weight was jaw dropping to my younger self, and the surprises just mounted up from there. We can all think of games with revolutionary concepts that absolutely amazed and inspired us, but what about the opposite?

With Yakuza Kiwami 3, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio isn’t just polishing an old game like they were with the 2019 Yakuzu 3 Remaster. By rebuilding the title on modern technology, reworking its most criticized systems, and pairing it with an ambitious new story expansion, the studio is finally giving fans what they always wanted out of Yakuza 3; a ground-up remake with the Kiwami badge. Here are 15 details well worth knowing about before buying Yakuza Kiwami 3 + Dark Ties on its February 11th release date.

Front Mission 3 Remake brings one of the most beloved late-’90s tactical RPGs back into the spotlight … a second time. The remake attempts to modernize the original’s presentation while preserving its distinctly grounded mecha warfare. Fans have sung the praises of the PS1 cult classic from 1999 for its industrial tone, deep customization, and ambitious in-game “internet” elements, and now the rest of us can see what the buzz was all about.
