Get ready, Yakuza fans! A Like a Dragon Direct is set for later this week, offering a closer look at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii before its February release. Unlike recent mainline entries, this spin-off returns to the fluid, real-time combat of the original Kiryu saga, starring Goro Majima in a Hawaiian adventure following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made waves at the 2024 Game Awards with reveals of Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century, a 1915 Japan-set action brawler with potential Yakuza universe connections, generated even more buzz.
The Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, streams Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST on YouTube and Twitch. RGG promises new gameplay features without major story spoilers.
Like a Dragon Direct Details:
While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been shown, the upcoming stream promises further reveals. While the Direct focuses on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds about potential teases of other RGG projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or perhaps another glimpse of Project Century (though less likely given the event's title).
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst a crowded February release schedule including titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The mystery of what RGG Studio will unveil remains, but the wait is almost over.
