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 installment returns to the series' roots with fluid, real-time combat reminiscent of the original Kiryu saga. This time, the spotlight shines on Goro Majima, continuing his story in Hawaii following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Beyond Like a Dragon, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made waves at the 2024 Game Awards with reveals of Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, codenamed Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century—a Yakuza-esque action brawler set in 1915 Japan—generated even more buzz, fueling speculation about its connection to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon universe.
The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, will stream on YouTube and Twitch Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST. 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 showcased, the Direct promises further surprises. Although the focus is on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds regarding potential teases of other projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or even another glimpse at 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 reveal remains, but the wait is almost over.
