Sega and the wildly prolific Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have introduced the following recreation within the Like a Dragon (previously Yakuza) sequence — and given it a launch date of Feb. 28, 2025, barely greater than a 12 months after the discharge of the epic Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
The sport is titled Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. A derivative starring the eccentric, eyepatch-wearing sequence common Goro Majima, it’s a conceptually wild tall story wherein Majima washes up on a desert island close to Hawaii with amnesia and winds up crossing swords with some old-timey pirates from a spot referred to as Madlantis. Regardless that that is all apparently set within the current day — there’s even a plot thread involving Nele Island, which ties Pirate Yakuza into the occasions of Infinite Wealth — Majima by some means finally ends up as captain of a pirate galleon, crusing the excessive seas and attempting to find misplaced treasure, as a result of why not?
All of that is arrange, if not precisely clarified, by a sometimes expansive seven-minute trailer which is narrated by Majima himself, recalling the occasions of six months prior — so perhaps there’s an unreliable narrator factor occurring right here. Regardless, it appears like goofy enjoyable, with flashy real-time brawling fight, an obvious return of the supply minigame from Infinite Wealth, a pirate queen dwelling in a secret metropolis manufactured from outdated ships, and a child sidekick with a pet tiger cub.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii shall be launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Home windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Collection X. Will probably be RGG Studio’s fifth Like a Dragon recreation in as a few years — not counting remasters and remakes. They can’t be stopped.
