Revealed at todays Xbox Showcase Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will include naval combat and an open world sailing mechanic! Take to the seas and take on other pirates from Madlantis as they all attempt to fill the power vacuum left by Bryce after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The ship combat looks fast and snappy which is what we’d expect from the LIke a Dragon devs who prioritize fun over time wasting. There’s also a surprise reveal of Saejima joining the story as he attempts to reconnect with his amnesiac brother.
On top of that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has moved up the launch date from February 28 to February 21st, 2025! In a follow up message from Yokoyama-san at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio “development is progressing more smoothly than expected” so they’re bumping up the release date by a week!
