Only a few days out from Yakuza: Kiwami's Western release, a leak has revealed that Yakuza: Kiwami 2 is in the works over at SEGA. As its name suggests, this is a full remake of Yakuza 2, which originally launched on the PlayStation 2 back in 2006. The remake will use the development team's new dragon engine -- that's the one that the great looking Yakuza 6 runs on.
Kiwami 2 is expected to be officially announced at a presentation that's set for tomorrow, the 26th August. As such, you can probably look forward to a trailer.
Until then, though, do let us know if you can't get enough of Yakuza in the comments section below.

Haha, amazing news.
@get2sammyb Never having played a Yakuza game before, where should I start?
Great news! I really hope they get all the games out before 6. Take my money Sega!
@Kidfried Yakuza 0 seems to be the common consensus these days.
Yay!
Can't wait to punch a tiger in HD.
Yakuza 2 was a great game. I can't wait for this remake.
Hopefully it will come to the West. I didn't want to dust off the PS2 and shell out on eBay for Yakuza 2. Should have plenty of time to get through 0 and Kiwami in the meantime.
Good, I hope sega also remake yakuza 3-5, as long as sega price it $30 like kiwami 1, I'll buy all of them day one
Oh my! This is awesome!
SO MUCH KAZ
Cool, although, having never owned a PS3, I'm hoping the Yakuza games for that system eventually get remastered as well.
Oh cool, if they go through the rest of the series up to 5, I will totally double dip.
Lol Yakuza is on a Killing Streak and as someone who never played any of those games... I'm so glad about these remakes
Oh man, they were serious when they said they wanted to remake all the old games.
Hopefully it gets officially confirmed for the West.
COOL! I'm playing the whole saga!
Here's my order: 0, 4, 5, 6, Kiwami, 2, 3?? lol
Western release please.
Awesome.
I was just saying yesterday that I hope they remake Yakuza 2 - 5 on the PS4.
