These will feature interactions between Kiryu and Nishiki, Kiryu and Kuze, as well as Majima and \u201csomebody.\u201d Suzuki suggests that these new scenes will delve deeper into things fans of the series are curious about, while not being too high context for first-time players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1342\" height=\"752\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1342px) 100vw, 1342px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250404-46725-001.jpg\" alt=\"Yakuza 0 Director\u2019s Cut\" class=\"wp-image-46728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250404-46725-001.jpg 1342w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250404-46725-001-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250404-46725-001-768x430.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Light Raid, the new online multiplayer mode that will feature in Yakuza 0 Director\u2019s Cut, was designed to make use of the Switch 2\u2019s new chat functions and C button.
