SEGA has updated the official Japanese website for Yakuza Kiwami 2, and have detailed the return of the cabaret club mini-game from Yakuza 0. The popular cabaret simulator will return with “new elements and functions,” and is said to be easier to play compared to the previous iteration. It also revealed that several notable Japanese porn stars will star in the mode, including AIKA.

There’ll be some familiar faces as well. Yuki, who was the main focus of the cabaret story in Yakuza 0, will return as the owner of a club called Four Shine. The club is doing poorly due to a rival cabaret club attempting to sabotage them, and Kiryu must help out in order to save Four Shrine from the evil Kanzaki group. There are four cabaret club “leagues” to compete in, including the Fresh League, Paradise League, Executive League, and Millionaire League. By completing these challenges, Kiryu will come closer to making Four Shine the top cabaret club in the entire country.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 will also feature a new story focusing on Goro Majima. Check out more details about the remake’s major addition:

A lot was teased in the recent Yakuza Kiwami 2 story trailer that SEGA released during Tokyo Game Show 2017, and now we have some additional information. As shown in the trailer, the remake of Yakuza 2 will have a greater focus on fan-favorite character Majima, and some familiar faces will reappear from Yakuza 0. Titled “The Truth of Majima Goro,” the story (which takes place two months after the events of Kiwami) will focus on Majima’s rise and subsequent clash with the Uematsu family. Perhaps the most exciting news is that Makoto Makmura, who starred in Yakuza 0, will make a reappearance. No longer blind, the masseuse now works in Sotenbori as a chirporactor. Other characters confirmed for the new story are Ryouta Kawamura, a young clan member of the Majima family that acts as his driver, Kei Iibuchi, another clan leader that has a working relationship with Uematsu, and finally Akinobu Uematsu himself, a Tojo Clan leader that currently earns the most money.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 will release December 17, 2017 in Japan.
