New Game+ mode in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be free

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anxiously awaiting Nintendo Switch 2 updates, today's spotlight shines on a beloved franchise: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled fresh gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure.

The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct combat styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more brutal 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 concluded the presentation: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This is a welcome change from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing considerable criticism towards SEGA. This positive development means we only need to wait approximately six weeks for the official launch.
