In a product listing page that has already been pulled, the Taiwanese PlayStation Network briefly had a listing for Yakuza Kiwami 2.
You can find an image of the since-pulled listing below care of @Wario64 on twitter. The listing points to the game releasing December 7.

Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of the original Yakuza, releases on August 29. You can find our review of the game here. Presumably, Yakuza Kiwami 2 would be a comparable remake of Yakuza 2, which released for PlayStation 2 in 2006 in Japan and 2008 in North America.

Our Take
The success of Yakuza 0 has really sent Sega into a mad sprint to get as many Yakuza games into the North America market as possible. Maybe too many. There are few reasons to doubt that this game is on the way.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
