Gaming’s best dads will return to dispense fatherly recommendation and bodyslam baddies in Yakuza Kiwami 2 this May, Sega confirmed immediately. Kiryu and Majima will deliver extra crime melodrama, extra minigames, extra daft quests, extra japes, and extra mobsters whipping their jackets and shirts off in a single single dramatic motion to disclose their tattoos when it’s go time. This remake of 2006’s Yakuza 2 is the most recent in Sega’s mobster/father brawler-RPG collection, although we’ve nonetheless not seen Yakuza 6 on PC – or any of the opposite games from earlier console generations. The level is, we’ll hear extra males shout “KIRYYYYUUUUU!”
This information isn’t a shock, on condition that Kiwami 2 was lately seen listed for PC by a ratings board, however now it’s formally official.
“When a single gunshot takes out the Fifth Chairman of the Tojo Clan, Kazuma Kiryu must journey to Sotenbori, Osaka, to broker peace between rivalling clans,” Sega clarify of their blurb. “Kiryu is pulled back into the life he desperately wanted to leave as he faces the ambitious Ryuji Goda, the Dragon of Kansai, who will stop at nothing to get his war. In this world, there can only be one dragon…”
In quick, Kiryu will once more break up his time between posing dramatically whereas growling about responsibility and doing side-quests to thrill youngsters. Most importantly, Yakuza 0’s cabaret membership administration minigame returns. I’ve performed that minigame for thus many extra hours than was obligatory.
Kiwami 2 is the primary within the collection on PC to be constructed upon the up to date Dragon engine from Yakuza 6, which I bear in mind largely for making a whole bunch of swirly particle results when Kiryu powers as much as wrestle a idiot however I’m certain does different prettiness too.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is coming to Steam on May ninth, priced at £25/€30/$30.
If you’re new to the collection and need to hear what it’s like coming in recent, that’s the place our boy Brendy was in earlier than he had a go then wrote a glowing Yakuza Kiwami review.
