Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a swashbuckling side story starring fan favorite Goro Majima
Sega
and
Ryu
Ga
Gotoku
Studio
have
just
announced
Like
a
Dragon:
Pirate
Yakuza
in
Hawaii
at
Tokyo
Game
Show
2024’s
RGG
Summit
presentation.
Firmly
filing
under
the
category
of
‘game
ideas
so
good
I
can’t
believe
they
haven’t
happened
already’,
this
smaller-scale
adventure
stars
iconic
series
madman
Goro
Majima
as
the
protagonist.
After
washing
up
on
a
deserted
island
with
no
recollection
of
how
he
got
there
or
even
who
he
is,
Majima
is
rescued
by
a
young
boy
named
Noah.
Before
long,
Majima
and
the
folks
of
Rich
Island
are
swept
up
in
a
full-scale
pirate
invasion,
complete
with
naval
battles
and
even
a
hunt
for
legendary
treasure.
It’s
arguably
the
most
out
there
the
Like
a
Dragon
series
has
ever
been,
and
that’s
even
accounting
for
the
madness
we
witnessed
throughout
Yakuza:
Like
a
Dragon
and
Like
a
Dragon:
Infinite
Wealth.

Trailer

Like
a
Dragon:
Pirate
Yakuza
in
Hawaii
will
reportedly
be
similar
in
scope
to
2023’s
Like
a
Dragon
Gaiden:
The
Man
Who
Erased
His
Name.
Judging
by
the
brief
gameplay
snippets
we
got
from
the
announcement
trailer, combat
will
return
to
the
real-time
action
combat
style
as
opposed
to
the
more
recent
pivot
to
turn-based
battles.
Majima
will
be
able
to
switch
between
two
fighting
styles.
First
up
is
‘Sea
Dog’
which
sees
Majima
dual-wielding
swords.
Then
there’s
the
‘Mad
Dog’
style,
which
presumably
could
be
similar
to
his
movesets
from
Yakuza
0
and
Yakuza
Kiwami
2.
Launching
on
February
28,
2025,
for
PS5,
PS4,
Xbox
Series
X,
Xbox
Series
S,
Xbox
One,
and
PC
(via
Steam),
Like
a
Dragon:
Pirate
Yakuza
in
Hawaii
will
have
a
few
different
versions.
There’s
the
Standard
Edition
which
is
available
in
either
physical
or
digital
versions.
A
digital-only
Deluxe
Edition
adds
some
DLC
customization
items.
There
will
also
be
a
physical
Collector’s
Edition
that
packs
in
the
base
game,
Deluxe
Edition
content,
and
various
physical
goodies
such
as
a
replica
of
Majima’s
iconic
eye
patch.
