**Story**
Kazuma Kiryu, a former Yakuza member, has left his criminal past behind and now leads a peaceful life with his adopted daughter. However, tranquility is disrupted when a high-stakes meeting with the Tojo clan results in the assassination of the chairman. The killer belongs to the rival Omi Alliance, escalating tensions and sparking a potential war between the factions. Kiryu must navigate the chaos and prevent an all-out street war between the organizations.

Enjoy side quests, mini-games, and interactions with local bars and shops. You can even manage a club as part of the extensive range of entertaining options.
The combat system in Yakuza Kiwami 2 is based on the mechanics from Yakuza 6, with significant improvements in combat dynamics and attack execution. Drawing from Yakuza 0’s melee fighting system, it includes four distinct battle styles. The game is known for its dramatic and often absurd street fights, where players can use unconventional weapons like ramen bowls to defeat enemies, capturing the quirky charm of the Yakuza series.
