Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut English voice cast announced
The English voice cast for the forthcoming Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut has been unveiled today.
The voice cast, which can be seen below, will feature talent such as Matt Mercer, David Hayter, Risa Mei, and Alejandro Saab. Aside from the voice talent announcement, a new trailer featuring the game’s theme song “Bubble” by Shōnan no Kaze has been unveiled here. This will mark the first time the original theme will be featured in the West; the original release of Yakuza 0 swapped “Bubble” with an instrumental tune outside of Japan.
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut will be released on June 5 via the Nintendo Switch 2. The Director’s Cut will feature an additional 20 minutes of new cutscenes along with a new online multiplayer mode Red Light Raid. Pre-orders for the game can be made here. A synopsis for Yakuza 0 Director's Cut reads:
Discover the decadence and danger of 1988 Japan.
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is the definitive edition of the critically acclaimed origin story, now on Nintendo Switch™ 2.
Fight like hell through Tokyo and Osaka entertainment districts as yakuza Kazuma Kiryu and cabaret club manager Goro Majima in an epic crime drama of intertwined fates that created legends.
Kiryu and Majima each have three unique fighting styles to dynamically switch between to creatively crack skulls with your fists, makeshift weapons and more. Anyone can enjoy exhilarating brawler action with easy-to-pick-up controls and a high skill ceiling.
Director's Cut content gives deeper insight into key incidents and character backstories with never-before-seen cutscenes. Plus, the Red Light Raid online multiplayer mode lets you join forces with friends and choose from 60 playable characters to take down hordes of enemies.
