'Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii' Reveals Activities And Mini-Game Details - Screens

by Rainier on Dec. 17, 2024 @ 11:15 a.m. PST

Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii is a modern-day pirate adventure that follows the once-feared legend of the yakuza world, Goro Majima.

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.
