awesome news, Yakuza 0 was my very first Yakuza game and boy did i love it.
Y0 was my GOTY 2017.

i played through Kiwami some months ago and loved it, looking forward to kiwami 2 /so happy we are getting it localized.

i hope they remaster Y3/4 and 5 for Ps4 !

I've got a question, which is the difference between 1+2 HD and Kiwami? The 1st 2 are simple remaster of PS2 versions, but is Kiwami actually a remake of 1st 2 using dragon engine?

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of Yakuza 2?

Not a remake of Yakuza Kiwami 1 ?

Just making sure i never played this series and i just bought Yakuza Kiwami 1 on psn...

Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the first Yakuza game from PS2 using the same engine Yakuza 0 uses.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of the second Yakuza game from PS2 using the same engine Yakuza 6 uses.

Also, I heard fans of the series recommend playing the games in release order, because even though you could play 0 at the start you will miss many references to later titles.
A side note about Kiwami 2 is that it's pretty lazy remake compared to Kiwami 1, which by the way also cut some content. An entire area from original game has been cut in Kiwami 2, and some locations look worse in comparison even to PS2 game. Some songs from OST are missing too. The best version of the game is probably the HD collection on PS3/Wii U, but sadly no english version was ever released.
