Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Unveils Free New Game+ Mode

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we eagerly anticipate Nintendo Switch 2 updates, today's focus is on a beloved franchise: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure.

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

Players can recruit a unique crew to aid in combat, exploration, and treasure hunting. The game promises hidden islands brimming with secrets and original side quests to uncover.

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