Author : Nova Mar 15,2025

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be the silliest entry in the Like a Dragon series, but don't let that fool you – it's a surprisingly meaty adventure. Curious about its length and chapter breakdown? Look no further.

How Many Chapters are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii features five chapters, matching Like a Dragon Gaiden but significantly shorter than Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Here's the chapter list:

  • Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
  • Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness
  • Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
  • Chapter 4: Treasure Island
  • Finale: White Whale

Chapter 1 throws you, as the ever-charming Goro Majima, onto the shores of the Hawaiian island known as Rich Island. You've lost your memory, leaving you grappling with your identity amidst the familiar backdrop of the Yakuza world. The mystery unfolds from there.

While Kamurocho, a staple location in previous games, is absent, the game compensates with a visit to Hawaii's main island (featured in Infinite Wealth) in Chapter 2.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?

The playtime varies greatly depending on your approach. A focused playthrough concentrating solely on the main story should take around 16-20 hours. However, if you're aiming for 100% completion, including all side quests and optional activities, expect to dedicate closer to 40 hours. Don't worry about missing anything; you can always revisit these elements after finishing the main storyline.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii takes place shortly after Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and may even hint at a sequel. While you don't need to play Infinite Wealth beforehand, as the game provides necessary context, be warned: Pirate Yakuza spoils a major plot point from Infinite Wealth within the first few hours. If you plan on playing Infinite Wealth, it's strongly recommended to tackle it first to avoid spoilers.
