New game Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sounds like a wild ride

During their RGG 2024 Summit, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and SEGA announced a new game in the Like a Dragon series, and the trailer makes it clear that it’s going to be absolutely insane, in the best possible way. It’s called Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii – no prizes for guessing what it’s about. Most excitingly of all, the game’s protagonist is none other than series frenemy Goro Majima, who gets to take the helm for the first time!

The lengthy trailer sets the scene: Majima wakes up on a Hawaiian beach, just like Ichiban in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. But Majima seems to be up for a very different kind of adventure than Ichiban, involving amnesia, lost treasure, the mafia, pirates, and mafia pirates. It looks silly, dumb, and totally awesome. The game seems to be a bit of a sequel to Infinite Wealth, as the trailer hints at some of the events from the previous game. While the trailer doesn’t focus on gameplay, we do see some of the combat that the series is known for, and we can even expect some swashbuckling or high-seas battles.

We don’t have to wait long to experience Majima’s best pirate life, as Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on February 28, 2025.
