Sega have today confirmed that Japanese hit Yakuza 2 will be released in Europe, after months of conjecture on the topic.

The PS2 favourite was released in Japan back in late 2006, proving a success with the critics and selling by the shed-load.

While Japan lapped up the gritty gangster tales, the failure of the first Yakuza to sell in large numbers in Europe and North America was blamed for Sega's tardiness in delivering the sequel.

Yakuza sees your rising through the ranks of the Japanese mafia, while a third game for the PS3 has already been released in Japan, allowing players to learn about the history of the Yakuza from back in feudal times.

More on Yakuza 2, meanwhile, as we get it.
