Prepare for a significantly expanded Yakuza/Like a Dragon experience! Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii promises to be substantially larger than its predecessor, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. RGG Studio's president, Masayoshi Yokoyama, revealed at RGG SUMMIT 2024 that the game's world and story will be 1.3 to 1.5 times bigger.
A Pirate Adventure Unfolds in 2025
This isn't just a minor expansion; Yokoyama emphasized the game's dramatically increased scale, hinting at a scope beyond Honolulu (featured in Infinite Wealth) and including locations like Madlantis. The sheer volume of content, from signature brawling combat to the series' characteristic quirky side activities and mini-games, is set to be massively increased. Yokoyama further suggested the traditional "Gaiden" definition as a spin-off is evolving, implying this title will be a full-fledged experience comparable to mainline entries.
The game's setting in and around the Hawaiian islands offers a distinct change of pace. The charismatic Goro Majima, voiced again by Hidenari Ugaki, takes center stage in this unexpected pirate adventure. Majima's transformation into a Hawaiian pirate is shrouded in mystery, with Ugaki expressing excitement while remaining tight-lipped about details.
Adding to the intrigue, First Summer Uika (voice of Noah Ritchie) and Ryuji Akiyama (voice of Masaru Fujita) teased intriguing behind-the-scenes elements. Akiyama hinted at a surprising live-action scene and the presence of "many beautiful women" during recording, playfully suggesting a mistaken impression of popularity. These "beautiful women" may be related to the "Minato Ward girls," who will appear both in live-action and CG form, following auditions held earlier this year. Ryosuke Horii expressed delight in the participants' enthusiasm and passion for the series.
