Following the release of Yakuza: Kiwami on PC several months ago, it seems that its sequel, Yakuza: Kiwami 2 will be coming to PC as it’s been rated by the ESRB recently.
Yakuza: Kiwami 2 is a remake of Yakuza 2 that launched for PlayStation 4 in August 2018 in North America. Fans who missed out on the PS4 version can definitely look forward for its PC version with a much better visuals and smoother experience.
Unfortunately, the PC version has yet to be announced by Sega.
Here’s the ESRB description:
This is an open-world action game in which players assume the role of a former Japanese gangster (Kazuma Kiryu) trying to keep peace between warring syndicates. Players explore parts of Tokyo and Osaka and engage in missions that often result in fistfights with thugs and/or rival gang members. Characters use knives, pipes, and swords during combat and can trigger scripted special attacks (e.g., bashing heads into walls; stabbing enemies with a knife; ripping off nails and teeth with pliers) after successfully building up an attack meter. Combat is accompanied by screams of pain, large blood-splatter effects, and close-up camera angles. Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: characters shot in the head; characters gunned down inside an elevator; a man executed with a shotgun. The game includes sexual/suggestive material: a sequence in a video parlor in which players hear suggestive moaning sounds and dialogue (e.g., “You wanna see what I’m hiding under my skirt?” and “[Y]ou’re giving me some real pervy looks!”); a mini-game in which players engage in a photoshoot and view videos of real women posing in revealing outfits (e.g., lingerie, swimsuits)—some clips depict camera angles that focus on models’ cleavage and buttocks. During the course of the game, Kazuma can order and drink alcoholic beverages at various bars: players are rewarded for drinking in the form of experience points; a status icon denotes character’s level of intoxication, while his movement becomes harder to control. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in the dialogue.
We’ll let you know once Sega officially announces the release date for the PC version.
