This wildly ambitious Yakuza 5 co-op...

Typical, isn’t it? You wait ages for a wildly ambitious cooperative mod to arrive, then two come along at once. This week already brought us a refurbished co-op campaign for the original Command & Conquer, and now some bright spark has reworked Yakuza 5 to make it playable with a pal.

That modding whiz is Jhrino. They’re responsible for Intertwined Fates, a mod that gives a multiplayer makeover to Kiryu Kazama’s penultimate adventure as Yakuza’s lead character. The mod enables two players to experience Yakuza 5’s entire story together, with player two assuming the role of the series’ new protagonist Ichiban.
