Headhunter Redemption is the sequel to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 game Headhunter. Headhunter: Redemption was launched in Europe for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 on October 31, 2003, and was released in North America on September 21, 2004.

Set 20 years after the Bloody Mary Virus (released in the original Headhunter), Jack and his new partner Leeza X find out something is amiss when they try to stop Weapon Smugglers. The pair must face opposition from the Glass Skyscrapers filled and media controlled 'Above' and The Dregs & Criminal Infested colonies of 'Below'. Jack and Leeza must also face their fears as they try to redeem a world from chaos, especially Jack, whose son was taken away by forces from 'Below,' but might still be alive.

Following the success of the soundtrack to the original Headhunter, Richard Jacques returned to compose the soundtrack for Headhunter: Redemption. The game retains the cinematic orchestral feel from the previous game, though it was not performed by a live orchestra as before.

With the game's release, Headhunter: Redemption/ Headhunter Original Soundtrack Recording, a two disc soundtrack containing the scores for both Headhunter Redemption and Headhunter, was released by La-La Land Records. Customers who pre-ordered the soundtrack received autographed copies. The soundtrack is currently out of print.

Headhunter: Redemption received mixed to positive reviews, ranking slightly lower than the original Headhunter.
