Sega has issued a press release revealing that Yakuza 2 will be released on September 9 this year.

"Yakuza 2 plunges you once more into the violent Japanese underworld where respect and honour holds great importance. In intense brutal clashes with rival gangs, the police, and the Korean mafia, you will have opportunities to dole out more brutal punishment," says the release.

"Play as Kazuma Kiryu, the hero from the original Yakuza™ and explore Tokyo and now Osaka. Wander through the back alleys of Japan's underworld while trying to prevent an all-out gang war. Endless conflicts and surprise plot twists will immerse you in a dark shadowy world where only the strongest will survive."

Full thing after the drop.
