The legendary duo return in Jak II, where Jak has grown into a mature young hero with a cynical attitude and hardened edge. Following the finale of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak and Daxter investigate a strange energy portal that propels them 500 years into the future where they find themselves in a foreign city. The city, under siege and ruled by the tyrannical Baron Praxis, is surrounded by a dark wasteland on the brink of destruction with menacing Metal Heads destroying the land.

Upon arriving in the city, Jak is immediately captured by the Baron’s guards and thrown into prison where he is experimented on with Dark Eco, where even he doesn’t realize the full extent of the hazardous substance. But with Daxter assisting in Jak’s prison escape, the two begin their quest to find out where they are, what has happened and ultimately seek revenge on the Baron. Along the way, Jak and Daxter will encounter numerous diverse characters greatly impacting the adventure they face ahead, while they brace themselves for the foes lurking within the shadows of the city.
