Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Gets Free New Game+ Mode

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anxiously awaiting details on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a fan-favorite franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing key features.

The showcased footage highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct fighting styles: a swift, agile approach and a more powerful style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises hidden islands brimming with secrets and original side quests to uncover.

A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be free for all players! While not available at launch, it will be added via a post-release patch. This is a welcome change from the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was initially exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism of SEGA. This positive development means we only have to wait approximately six weeks for the game's official release.
