Yakuza Crosses Over into Rainbow Six Siege This Week; Kiryu & Kaoru Skins

Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios has announced that Yakuza will be crossing over into Rainbow Six Siege 2 days from now, May 24, 2022. Characters Echo and Hibana will receive Kazuma Kiryu and Kaoru Sayama skins, respectively. Since these are cosmetics, no gameplay alterations will be added, but this is still quite a wild occurrence regardless. We’ll keep you updated on further updates regarding this unexpected crossover.

The Yakuza franchise was recently announced to have sold over 2.9 million units during the last fiscal year.
