The Director’s Cut brings more than 20 minutes of new scenes and the Red Light Raid invasion mode, in which players team up to defeat hordes of enemies. Pre-orders are already open.
Straight talk
Matt Mercer as Majima is casting that will get people talking, and David Hayter in the cast is reason enough to listen to at least one scene. For fans of the series who have always played with Japanese audio, now there’s a choice. Let’s see Kiryu and Majima on Switch 2.
