Yakuza Kiwami 2 video game launches on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Xbox Game Pass

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is now available to play on Microsoft’s family of Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 PCs.

The game is a remake of the original Yakuza 2 video game that came out back in 2006 and features improved visuals and gameplay plus additional story content. Yakuza Kiwami 2 can be purchased outright on Xbox One and Windows or played for free for those with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Here’s the official game description:

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.

Rebuilt from the ground up, Yakuza Kiwami 2 uses the Dragon Engine to update one of the series stand-out titles into a modern classic. Play fan favorite minigames including updated versions of the Cabaret Club simulator and Clan Creator, or check out all new additions like an arcade port of Virtual On, golf bingo, and Toylets. Also new to Kiwami 2 is the ‘Majima Saga’ which features Goro Majima in his own playable adventure revealing events that occur prior to the game.

A remake of the original Yakuza game, Yakuza Kiwami, was also released on Xbox One earlier this year. You can read more about that video game here.
