The long-time running Yakuza series has been slowly coming over to new platforms in the past few years, finally jumping off the PlayStation exclusivity train. Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio today announced that Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be releasing on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Xbox Game Pass on July 30.
The title is a remake of Yakuza 2 from 2006, and has already seen releases on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam. This is the first time the game is arriving to Microsoft platforms, though it was to be expected, considering Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami is already available and even the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon - the seventh game in the series - is coming to the Xbox ecosystem.
There can only be one dragon.
