Yakuza 5 Remastered has just taken a major step forward in modding history, thanks to a brand-new cooperative multiplayer mod called Intertwined Fates. Developed by solo creator Jhrino, this game-altering add-on brings long-requested co-op functionality to the fifth mainline entry in the iconic Yakuza franchise.
🧩 A Bold Step for Yakuza Mods
While the Yakuza modding scene has seen its fair share of texture swaps and cosmetic tweaks, Intertwined Fates breaks new ground. Rather than focusing on aesthetics, this mod dives deep into the game’s mechanics, adding full-fledged cooperative multiplayer to a game originally designed as a single-player narrative experience.
Players can now explore the vibrant streets of Kamurocho and other cities side-by-side, engage in fights together, and even participate in mini-games and side content—either with a friend or by letting the AI control the second character.
🛠️ Developed by Jhrino, Now on Nexus Mods
Created by prolific modder Jhrino, Intertwined Fates is now available to download on Nexus Mods free of charge. The mod is compatible with the PC version of Yakuza 5 Remastered and integrates with mod managers like Ryu Mod Manager.
Key features of the mod include:
-
Local co-op support with optional AI companion mode
-
Real-time synchronized combat
-
Support for multiple playable protagonists
-
Compatibility with most of the original game’s story and side missions
🎮 How to Install Intertwined Fates
To install the Yakuza 5 Remastered co-op mod, players will need:

🧠Play Co-Op, Even Without a Friend
One standout feature of Intertwined Fates is the ability to enjoy the experience even when playing solo. If you don’t have someone to join you locally, the second character can be controlled by the game’s AI, making it easier than ever to experience the co-op structure without the need for a second player.
Intertwined Fates marks a milestone in Yakuza modding. With its ambitious scope and smooth implementation, this co-op mod breathes new life into Yakuza 5 Remastered. Whether you want to brawl through the streets with a friend or explore Sotenbori with an AI partner, this mod delivers a fresh and exciting twist on a classic.
