Yakuza Kiwami 3 Visuals Enhanced with Launch Day Patch
RGG Studio has announced that a significant update will be available for the launch of Yakuza Kiwami 3, scheduled for February 12, 2026. This update, version 1.11, aims to address various graphical issues and bugs that have been affecting the game’s visual experience.
Launch Day Patch for Improved Visuals
The developer’s announcement highlights their commitment to enhancing the game’s graphics. Players have expressed concerns about lighting issues, particularly in the Kubochi River area of Downtown Ryukyu. RGG Studio stated, “the graphical quality of the demo does not represent the final experience.” The update will specifically address the lighting problems that have caught players’ attention in the demo.
Key Features of the Update
- Version: 1.11
- Release Date: February 12, 2026
- Main Focus: Fixing lighting and graphical issues
- Location Addressed: Kubochi River area, Downtown Ryukyu
Issues with visual quality in the demo have been a topic of discussion among the community, leading to mostly negative reviews on Steam. RGG Studio reassured fans that the final version will provide a better gaming experience than that seen in the demo.
Community Reaction and Context
In addition to graphical concerns, the game has also been in the spotlight due to the recasting of character Goh Hamazaki, now portrayed by Teruyuki Kagawa. Kagawa faced controversy in 2022 when allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. This situation has further complicated player sentiments toward the game, with some advocating for his removal from the project.
Despite these issues, anticipation remains high for Yakuza Kiwami 3 as it heads toward its launch. Fans are eager to see how RGG Studio will deliver on its promise of enhanced visuals and gameplay quality.
