Game Description

Kazuma Kiryu is back, and once again it's up to you to guide him. Lead him through the back alleys and neon-lit nightclubs of Tokyo and Osaka. Teach him how to gain the respect and honor of his fellow Yakuza. Then help him stop an all-out gang war from erupting! Experience 16 new chapters with open-ended gameplay - and an updated engine means you'll play more with shorter load times. Beautifully rendered landscapes contrast with brutal hand-to-hand fighting, in which chained combos allow you to take on multiple enemies. Take on rival gangs, the police, and the Korean mafia as you fight to maintain peace. And just like real-life Yakuza, you'll need to become a part of society to open doors and gain information.
