Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The latest Like a Dragon Direct focused on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, starring Majima Goro on a sea-faring quest for treasure. As a spin-off of Infinite Wealth, it’s an action-adventure title with beat ’em up mechanics and naval combat. Check out the Direct below to learn more about its story, combat mechanics, and more.

Majima wields two Styles, Mad Dog and Sea Dog, the latter employing dual cutlasses and pistols. Players can jump for the first time in the franchise, launching enemies and diving into them from above. You can switch between both Styles seamlessly and even harness Dark Instruments for powerful summons.

Then there’s naval combat, where players can recruit and assign over 100 crew members to their ship to battle hostile vessels. Bonding with them will improve their stats while equipping different weapons, from flamethrowers to lasers, is key to survival (and you can even man certain weapons). The sea also hosts dangerous monsters that have yet to be fully revealed.

If all this wasn’t enough, there’s Madlantis, where the Pirate Coliseum awaits. The Direct confirms that four battle types await, including naval combat, for rewards.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii launches on February 21st for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Unlike Infinite Wealth, it will add New Game Plus for free post-launch.
