So if you want to revisit Kamurocho or you're starting the series for the first time and have opted to go for Kiwami first instead of Yakuza 0, you might be wondering how much time you'll be putting into the game — here's what you need to know.

How Long Does It Take To Finish Yakuza Kiwami?

According to How Long To Beat, you're looking at an average of 17+ hours for completing the main storyline in Yakuza Kiwami.

However, there is a wealth of side content available in the game, with plenty of optional substories (side quests), minigames, and more. If you find yourself getting distracted by the delights of Kamurocho and delving into some of the optional bits while completing the storyline, your average playthrough will likely be closer to 33+ hours.

How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent Yakuza Kiwami?

As we previously mentioned, there is a lot of side content in the game, so if you're looking to 100 percent the game and get each and every trophy/achievement, you're looking at an average of 82+ hours.

Doing so will involve more than one playthrough as you must complete the game on Legend Mode, which is not unlocked until you have first completed the game on Hard Mode. The good news is the game features New Game Plus, so all your abilities, experience points, money, CP, completion list, and more all carry over.

However, substories do not carry over — so you need to complete all substories in the same playthrough. You can utilize Premium Adventure after you have completed the game, which allows free roam after the main story has been completed and allows you to mop up any missing substories and other bits you might need to complete.
