Don't Let the Wait Drag-on. Return to the Clan-destine Streets of Sotenbori and Tip the Scales in Your Favor in Yakuza Kiwami 2, Available Now in the WEST.!

I-Majima the Possibilities with Endless Hours of Minigames and More!


IRVINE, Calif. - August 28, 2018 - Call a cab-aret and take a trip down memory lane with Kazuma Kiryu as he returns to the mean streets of Kamurocho and Sotenbori in Osaka, to broker peace between rivaling clans, in the wake of a sudden assassination. Confronted by Ryuji Goda, the Dragon of Kansai, Kiryu is pulled from his once-peaceful life and thrust into the very world he wanted to leave behind - a world in which there can be only one dragon. Join Kiryu and help tip the scales in his favor in Yakuza Kiwami 2, available now on PlayStation®4.

To celebrate the launch of Yakuza Kiwami 2, we've got a special treat for fans of Majima, Toylet sharpshooters, batting cage superstars, Kiryu loyalists... What we're trying to say is, if you like Yakuza, you'll love the Majima Construction Anthem Singalong! A company song originally composed in Japanese to boost morale for the hard-working employees of Majima Construction (which you'll learn about in the game's new Majima Saga!), this English rendition was created just for the Western launch of the game.

Speaking of Majima Construction...

About Yakuza Kiwami 2

One year after the 10 billion yen incident, Kazuma Kiryu begins to build a peaceful life with Haruka Sawamura. Tearing him away, an assassination threatens to erupt in an all-out war between the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance. Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, must travel to Sotenbori, Osaka in an attempt to broker peace between the rival clans, but Ryuji Goda, known as the Dragon of Kansai, will stop at nothing to get his war. In this world, there can only be one dragon.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 Features:
  • Dragons Belong on the Dragon Engine - Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a re-creation of the original Yakuza 2, completely rebuilt in the Dragon Engine, the same engine used in developing Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. Experience gorgeous graphics on top of seamless transitions between battles or when entering or leaving buildings. All cutscenes and key voiced lines 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.
  • Big Hits, Minigames - Kiryu hasn't let his time away from the front lines dull his skills in combat or leisure. Pull off a wide variety of brutal (and hilarious) Heat Actions, and challenge new minigames 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!
  • Unveil the Truth of Goro Majima - 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.
  • Extreme Localization - 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.
