Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut Launches June 5 on Nintendo Switch 2 With New Content and Features
SEGA’s Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut is set to arrive as part of the Nintendo Switch 2’s highly anticipated global launch on June 5, delivering a fan-favorite entry in the acclaimed Yakuza series to the latest Nintendo hardware.
This release follows the successful adaptation of Yakuza Kiwami on the Nintendo Switch, which debuted late last year and was praised for its technical quality and faithfulness to the original.
As excitement builds, industry watchers note that Yakuza 0 is frequently cited by both critics and fans as the standout title in the franchise, known for its blend of gripping storytelling and dynamic open-world action.
The Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut for Nintendo Switch 2 promises to elevate the experience even further with a suite of enhancements and additional features.
According to official information from SEGA, this remaster introduces a brand-new multiplayer mode, supports full English voice acting, and expands upon the game’s story content, catering to both returning players and series newcomers.
The game continues to offer a rich array of activities, side quests, and intense brawling gameplay set against the neon-lit streets of 1980s Japan—a hallmark of the Yakuza formula.
Speaking about the new release, a representative for SEGA emphasized that the Director’s Cut is designed to take full advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2’s capabilities, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience.
"We are committed to delivering the definitive Yakuza 0 experience to Nintendo Switch 2 players, including the most expansive version of the game yet," the spokesperson stated.
This commitment to quality signals SEGA’s broader strategy of bringing its flagship franchises to wider audiences through contemporary platforms.
Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut joins a thriving lineup of action, adventure, and role-playing games on Nintendo Switch 2’s launch roster.
The game’s inclusion of English voiceovers and expanded multiplayer options is particularly significant, as it marks the first time these features have been available in a Yakuza 0 edition tailored to Nintendo consoles.
The Yakuza series has enjoyed critical acclaim and strong sales performance since its inception, with Yakuza 0 originally launching in Japan in 2015 before making its global debut on PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
The Director’s Cut on Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to continue this legacy, building on the momentum of the Switch ecosystem and providing fresh reasons for fans and newcomers alike to immerse themselves in SEGA’s gripping underworld saga.
Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut will be available through the Nintendo eShop and at retail beginning June 5, coinciding with the worldwide launch of Nintendo Switch 2.
For more details and a comprehensive overview of the new features, fans can view the official trailer released via SEGA’s YouTube channel.
