Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is the definitive version of one of the greatest games ever made — the acclaimed prequel to the legendary Yakuza series, developed and published by Sega's Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, now enhanced and expanded for Nintendo Switch 2. Set in the glittering, neon-soaked streets of 1988 Tokyo and Osaka, Yakuza 0 tells the origin stories of two of gaming's most iconic protagonists — Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima — in a sweeping crime drama of loyalty, betrayal, and the pursuit of honor. The Director's Cut brings new content, enhancements, and the most complete version of this masterpiece to Nintendo Switch 2.
Two Legendary Protagonists
Yakuza 0 tells its story through two parallel narratives — switching between Kazuma Kiryu, a young yakuza framed for a murder he didn't commit, and Goro Majima, a disgraced former yakuza desperate to reclaim his place in the underworld. Both stories are masterfully written — dramatic, emotional, and filled with unforgettable characters — and together they form one of the most compelling crime narratives in gaming history.
1980s Japan — A World Alive with Detail
The Kamurocho district of Tokyo and the Sotenbori district of Osaka are recreated in extraordinary detail — bustling, neon-lit entertainment districts packed with restaurants, arcades, karaoke bars, hostess clubs, and countless diversions. The 1988 bubble economy setting gives the world a unique energy — a Japan at the height of its excess, where money flows freely and the yakuza rule the streets.
Explosive Combat & Endless Substories
Yakuza 0's combat is visceral and deeply satisfying — with multiple fighting styles for both Kiryu and Majima that can be switched on the fly, each with their own feel and strengths. Beyond the main story, hundreds of substories — ranging from hilarious to heartbreaking — and an enormous variety of minigames including karaoke, disco dancing, bowling, mahjong, and classic Sega arcade games provide dozens of hours of additional content.
Director's Cut Enhancements
The Director's Cut includes new story content, additional substories, enhanced visuals optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, and quality-of-life improvements that make this the definitive way to experience Yakuza 0.
