| Also known as: | 龍が如く 極2 (Ryū ga Gotoku: Kiwami 2) |
| Developer(s): | Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio |
| Publisher: | SEGA |
| Platform(s): | PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows |
| Release: | PlayStation 4 JP: December 7th, 2017 WW: August 28th, 2018 Windows WW: May 9th, 2019 Xbox One WW: July 30th, 2020 |
| Engine: | Dragon Engine |
| Internal name: | lexus2 |
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the followup to Yakuza Kiwami. It is the remake of the second title released under the Yakuza name, Yakuza 2. Notable changes include the usage of the Dragon Engine, which had only been used in Yakuza 6 at this point, the replacement of some unique characters with face scanned versions. This includes Tsutomu Bessho, Ryo Takashima, Jiro Kawara, and Wataru Kurahashi. Furthermore, Shinseicho, a small district within Osaka that was present in Yakuza 2 was omitted for Kiwami 2. It's believed that there was a time crunch and a focus on other projects, as Sotenbori itself suffered removal of some areas, as leftovers indicate.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 was developed at the same time as Project Judge. The remnants of Project Judge are present on the Windows port, however, they are not on the Japanese PS4 release.
