The Yakuza games continue to expand in an unpredictable fashion with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Last Friday, Sega of America and Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) announced the latest entry to its award-winning action-adventure series. The game will be released on February 28, 2025 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Players can pre-order various editions of the game across all platforms starting today.
These are the Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition and Collector’s Edition.
The game’s standard Standard Edition will be available in both digital and physical formats whereas the Digital Deluxe Edition will include DLC character customization packs.
For the $130 Collector’s Edition, it comes with the base game, a Deluxe Edition DLC code, and exclusive physical items such as a replica of Goro Majima’s iconic eye patch and a treasure coin pin.
Players who pre-order will receive two bonuses. This includes the ‘Ichiban Pirate Crew Set’ DLC which adds popular Like a Dragon character Ichiban Kasuga and his pet crawfish, Nancy, to Majima’s pirate crew.
Additionally, they will also receive the ‘Ichiban Special Outfit Set’ DLC, which allows Majima to wear two of Ichiban Kasuga’s signature outfits.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza is the latest title from RGG’s renowned franchise.
It follows the story of Majima as he travels across the vast ocean in search of his missing memories. Accompanied by a boy named Noah, they’re caught up in a conflict between criminals, modern-day pirates and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.
The gameplay will return to the series’ traditional third-person brawler combat. Unlike Ichiban Kasuga’s turn-based adventures in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza will feature real-time battles.
This refined battle system allows Majima to dynamically switch between two fighting styles. Players can pick between a pirate-centric moveset such as swashbuckling and dual wielding with the ‘Sea Dog’ style or utilize speed and agility with the infamous ‘Mad Dog’ style.
