Co-op mods are all the rage these days, partly thanks to that FromSoft modder who's added seamless multiplayer to everything from Elden Ring to Sekiro to Dark Souls Remastered. And now, Yakuza sickos can get the same treatment.

The Intertwined Fates mod for Yakuza 5 lets you play almost the entire game in co-op or with an AI-controlled partner. Obviously, for most of the criminal adventure, main man Kazuma Kiryu is entirely alone, so modder Jhrino simply inserted everyone's favorite goof Ichiban Kasuga where he doesn't belong.
