How many chapters in yakuza kiwami

Quick Links

Yakuza Kiwami is the remake of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's very first Yakuza title that originally launched for PlayStation 2 in 2006. As well as getting a much-needed visual makeover, Kiwami adds various improvements and plenty of new content to keep fans occupied.

So if you want to revisit Kamurocho or you're starting the series for the first time and have opted to go for Kiwami first instead of Yakuza 0, you might be wondering how much time you'll be putting into the game — here's what you need to know.

How Long Does It Take To Finish Yakuza Kiwami?

According to How Long To Beat, you're looking at an average of 17+ hours for completing the main storyline in Yakuza Kiwami.

However, there is a wealth of side content available in the game, with plenty of optional substories (side quests), minigames, and more. If you find yourself getting distracted by the delights of Kamurocho and delving into some of the optional bits while completing the storyline, your average playthrough will likely be closer to 33+ hours.

How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent Yakuza Kiwami?

As we previously mentioned, there is a lot of side content in the game, so if you're looking to 100 percent the game and get each and every trophy/achievement, you're looking at an average of 82+ hours.

Doing so will involve more than one playthrough as you must complete the game on Legend Mode, which is not unlocked until you have first completed the game on Hard Mode. The good news is the game features New Game Plus, so all your abilities, experience points, money, CP, completion list, and more all carry over.

However, substories do not carry over — so you need to complete all substories in the same playthrough. You can utilize Premium Adventure after you have completed the game, which allows free roam after the main story has been completed and allows you to mop up any missing substories and other bits you might need to complete.

Yakuza Kiwami has 13 chapters in total, all of which vary in length so you'll find yourself completing some a lot faster than others.

• Chapter One: October 1, 1995: Fate of a Kinslayer
• Chapter Two: December 5, 2005: 10 Years Gone
• Chapter Three: Funeral of Fists

How Long is Yakuza Kiwami?

Yakuza Kiwami lets fans step back into the shoes of Kazuma Kiryu on his very first adventure. The game is a complete remake of the first title on PS2, and makes some meaningful additions while keeping the original story pretty much exactly intact. Of course, there are some new scenes added on to tie the game more closely to Yakuza Zero. Because of this, you’ll no doubt be wondering just how long Yakuza Kiwami might take you this time around.

Because Kiwami matches the story of the original, it’s a bit shorter than your usual Yakuza game, although longer than the PS2 one. The game is separated out into 12 different story chapters, filled with plenty of crime drama and twists. In total if you’re only looking to play straight through the main story, Yakuza Kiwami will probably take you roughly 15 hours to complete. Of course, part of the appeal of the series is the huge amount of side content you can dig into. There are over 70 subevents to complete and tons of minigames you can play, not to mention the brand new Majima Everywhere system.

If you want to complete everything in the game you’re looking at upwards of 30-35 hours. You can choose how much of this content you want to engage with, and our own playthrough took about 28 hours after completing the majority of Majima Everywhere, 65 subevents, and playing a handful of minigames.
