Key Takeaways
- Limited Run Games has revealed physical standard and collector's editions of Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 0.
- The Xbox and PlayStation versions come with a seven came slipcase as Limited Run has already confirmed the next five games in the series will also be getting physical releases.
- Limited Run is also handling the physical version of Yakuza Kiwami on Nintendo Switch.
Yakuza/Like A Dragon games are released at such an impressive rate, it's safe to assume that the team at Ryu Ga Gotoku is performing some sort of sorcery behind the scenes. Only a little more than four months to go until the release of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, and it turns out there's something else from the series to tide us over between now and then. A physical collector's edition that includes copies of the first seven games in the series, but there's a catch.
Limited Run Games not only revealed that it will be handling the physical edition of Yakuza Kiwami on Nintendo Switch, but also that it has standard and classic editions of Kiwami and Yakuza 0, the first two games in the series on the in-game timeline, on other platforms. What's more, the games come with a slipcase with slots for seven games. Limited Run has already confirmed that Yakuza Kiwami 2 through Yakuza 6 will be getting the same treatment in the future so you will be able to fill that case.

As exciting as this all is for Yakuza fans who would like to own physical copies of the first six games with consistent box art and designs that fit neatly into one case and look good on your shelf, there has been quite a bit of confusion since Limited Run made the announcement. For starters, why is Yakuza 0 getting a Limited Run release on PS4 when it already has a physical version? Limited Run CEO Josh Fairhurst has explained that since it was doing one for Xbox, where the first six Yakuza games are only available digitally, it felt like it made sense to do it for PlayStation too, especially since it's one part of a seven-game collection.

The Switch version of Kiwami also getting a collector's edition led some to believe this was confirmation that six more Yakuza will be coming to Nintendo platforms, Fairhurst confirmed if that is the plan, he hasn't been told about it. It's a fairly confusing situation between the Switch being involved and Yakuza 0 having already been released physically on PS4, but hopefully any confusion you had has now been cleared up.
