A synopsis for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reads:
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a brand-new action adventure that follows Goro Majima across land and sea. One year after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth™, Majima washes ashore on a deserted island amid the scattered remnants of a shipwreck. Unable to remember even his own name, Majima travels across the vast ocean in search of clues to piece together his lost identity, accompanied by a boy named Noah who saved his life. Before long, they’re caught up in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.
As Majima, players will assemble a one-of-a-kind crew while upgrading their ship, the “Goromaru,” battling enemy pirate ships and conquering seas and hidden islands alike. In combat, players can deliver explosive combos and aerial takedowns by dynamically switching between two fighting styles: dual-wield short swords or deploy pirate tools with the swashbuckling “Sea Dog” style or utilize speed, agility and flair to defeat enemies into submission with the infamous “Mad Dog” style.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be released on February 28, 2025 via the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows and PC (via Steam). Pre-orders for the game can be made here. The Deluxe Edition features the base game along with Legendary Pirate Crew Pack, Legendary Outfit Pack, Ship Customization Pack, and Extra Karaoke & CD Pack. The Collector’s Edition includes everything in the Deluxe Edition as well as physical merch such as an acrylic standee and a pirate flag.
All pre-orders will gain the Ichiban Pirate Crew Set DLC, which includes Like a Dragon character Ichiban Kasuga and his pet crawfish Nancy to Majima’s crew of “Goro Pirates,” and the Ichiban Special Outfit Set DLC, which gives Majima to change into two of Ichiban Kasuga’s iconic outfits.
A new Like A Dragon game announcement comes a month before the launch of Amazon Original’s live-action series Like a Dragon: Yakuza, which hits Prime Video on October 24.
