Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a re-creation of the original Yakuza 2, rebuilt in the Dragon Engine, which means you'll be able to experience gorgeous graphics and seamless transitions. Voice lines and cutscenes have been re-recorded to be as true to the original as possible, while reaping the benefits of the most powerful engine the Yakuza series has ever seen. Pull off a wide variety of brutal (and hilarious) Heat Actions, and challenge new mini-games such as Golf Bingo, the original arcade release of Virtual-On, the return of Yakuza 0’s much-celebrated Cabaret (including the return of fan-favorite Yuki!), Majima's revamped Clan Creator, and even SEGA's infamous Toylets! This time around, Kiryu isn't the only one running the show - fans of the Mad Dog of Shimano won't want to miss this new Majima-centric campaign, which features Majima as a playable character, complete with his trusty dagger, and sheds light on his personal journey from the end of Yakuza Kiwami up to Yakuza Kiwami 2. We’ve gone through the Yakuza Kiwami 2 script with a fine-toothed comb; every effort has been made to ensure that it's the most faithful representation of the original Japanese. SEGA is committed to supporting the best Yakuza experience possible for the series' dedicated fans around the world. Yakuza 2 was released to the world in 2008 for PlayStation®2, a sequel to the critically acclaimed Yakuza, following the journey of Kazuma Kiryu as he attempts to distance himself from the criminal underworld he was raised in. Ten years later, Yakuza Kiwami 2 brings that world to the PlayStation®4, completely rebuilt from the ground-up. In the tradition of 2017's Yakuza Kiwami, the envelope is pushed to the extreme, using the all-new Dragon Engine to update one of the series' stand-out titles into a modern classic. STORY • Prologue Kazuma Kiryu thought his Tojo Clan days were behind him. He and his young ward, Haruka Sawamura, have built a peaceful life from the ashes of conflict. All it took was a single gunshot to shatter that peace. Yukio Terada, the fifth chairman of the Tojo Clan, has been assassinated. With war on the horizon, the legendary Dragon of Dojima is pulled back into the world he wanted to leave behind. • An All New Scenario Featuring Goro Majima Take control of Majima, the Mad Dog of Shimano, and discover the events that occurred between the end of Yakuza and the beginning of Yakuza 2. ADVENTURE • Two Cities, Bustling With Life Step into the glitzy nightlife of Kamurocho, with its endless array of restaurants, bars, and activities, and journey west to Sotenbori, Osaka, Japan's other paradise of the night, newly recreated in the Dragon Engine to stunning effect. BATTLE • Refined Dragon Engine Combat Introduced in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, the Dragon Engine's combat comes to Yakuza Kiwami 2 with all-new improvements and upgrades worthy of the word "kiwami." From combo upgrades, to new charge attacks, to weapon storing, to new Heat Actions, beating down street thugs has never felt so satisfying.
