Yakuza Kiwami 2 – Remove Letterbox Artworks Mod

Remove Letterbox Artworks Mod

This small mod allows people with non 16:9 displays enjoy the game without distracting images on letterbox bars.

There are two versions of this mod available:
One that makes borders black and another that removes them completely:

Be aware, that cutscenes were made with 16:9 aspect ratio in mind, so removing bars can reveal things that were not supposed to be seen, sometimes making background in pre-rendered cutscenes bright:
