Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Adds Free New Game+

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all still anticipating details on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a fan-favorite franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing key features.

The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, engaging naval battles, a variety of mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct fighting styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more tactical style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players can assemble a unique crew of allies to aid in combat, exploration, and treasure hunting. The game promises hidden islands and original side quests to discover throughout the adventure.

A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This marks a positive change from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism from SEGA. This is fantastic news, and we only have to wait approximately six weeks for the official launch.
