Yakuza 2 was released in 2008 for the PlayStation 2 and is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Yakuza, following Kazuma Kiryu's journey as he tries to distance himself from the criminal underworld he grew up in. Ten years later, Yakuza Kiwami 2 brings this world to the PlayStation 4, completely rebuilt. In the tradition of 2017's Yakuza Kiwami, the bar is set extremely high by using the brand-new Dragon Engine to transform one of the standout titles of the series into a modern classic.

Prologue
Kazuma Kiryu thought his days in the Tojo Clan were behind him. He and his young protégé, Haruka Sawamura, have built a peaceful life from the ruins of conflict. All it took was a single shot to shatter that peace. Yukio Terada, the fifth chairman of the Tojo Clan, has been murdered. With war on the horizon, the legendary Dragon of Dojima is pulled back into the world he wanted to leave behind.

A brand new scenario with Goro Majima
Take control of Majima, Shimano's mad dog, and uncover the events that took place between the end of Yakuza and the beginning of Yakuza 2.

Adventure
Two cities, pulsating with life
Immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife of Kamurocho, with its endless selection of restaurants, bars, and activities, and travel westward to Sotenbori, Osaka's other paradise of the night, newly recreated in the Dragon Engine with stunning effect.

Combat
Refined Dragon Engine combat
The combat introduced in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life comes to Yakuza Kiwami 2 with brand new enhancements and upgrades that deserve the term "kiwami." From combo upgrades to new charge attacks, weapon storage, and new Heat Actions – defeating street criminals has never felt so satisfying.
