This shit is getting so, SO bought. I know it's not as good as 0, but I'm still hoping it's good enough.
dont forget a crazy queen giveaway on release, just like i did with yakuza 0
How about all who received Yakuza 0 and beat the game will receive Kiwami?you fucking wish ...

Nice. I'll have to get back to my Y0 playthrough soon then. Hopefully Voidu will save us again.

Yakuza Kiwami is coming to PC on February 19th!
Yakuza Kiwami is now available for digital pre-order on Steam for £14.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, including a 10% discount and exclusive bonus content, like avatars, wallpapers and a digital manga."
Glad that PC folks can enjoy this series. I played all games in the series on PS2/PS3/PS4 and they are amazing, well worth revisiting in their updated form.
Some general notes.
Denuvo is gone, which, combined with the fact Catherine Classic and Shenmue 1+2 lacked it, seems to confirm that SEGA* is officially done using it.
*Specifically the mainline branch, Creative Assembly and possibly Sports Interactive look to be still be using it currently.
Lab42 is handling the port again.
The "Digital Manga" included with the Digital Deluxe edition is the "The Dragon's Path" motion comic series (the Icon on the Steam page is specifically issue 3.) made to promote Yakuza 0's initial PS4 localization. I'm not quite sure how this will be handled.
and most importantly, which also relates to the first point. The Dev Branch for 0 has been getting actively updated again, with the most recent change being on January 17, 2019.
This is just speculation on my part, but the fact that Kiwami no longer has Denuvo, Combined with this news, leads me to believe they will also be patching Denuvo out of 0 alongside whatever other changes (Probably fixing the lighting. Note that link has spoilers for a pivotal scene in 0.) this update is supposed to bring.
