SEGA Announces English Voiceover Cast For Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut

Sega has announced the English voiceover cast for the upcoming Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut on Nintendo Switch 2, launching on 5th June 2025. In addition, the new theme song “Bubble” by Shōnan no Kaze has been introduced in a new trailer, which you can view above.

Headlining the cast is YouTuber and voice actor Yong Yea, who will be providing the voice for protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Meanwhile, Topher Ngo will take care of singing duties during specific minigames. We’ve also got the likes of David Hayter, Matt Mercer, Kaiji Tang, Risa Mei, and more.

Truth be told, we’ll probably be playing the game with the original Japanese voiceover, just for that added authenticity. But if you’d rather have English dialogue when playing, it’s good that the option has been added, at least.
