Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Get ready, Yakuza fans! A Like a Dragon Direct is set to air later this week, offering a closer look at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii before its February release. Unlike recent mainline entries, this title returns to the fluid, real-time combat system reminiscent of the original Kiryu saga, starring Goro Majima in a Hawaiian adventure following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made a splash at the 2024 Game Awards, unveiling Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, Project Century. While their involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century, a 1915 Japan-set action brawler with potential Yakuza universe connections, generated even more buzz.

The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, will stream on YouTube and Twitch this Thursday, January 9th, at 12 PM EST. RGG promises new gameplay reveals with minimal story spoilers.

Like a Dragon Direct Details:

  • Date: January 9th
  • Time: 12 PM EST
  • Platforms: YouTube, Twitch

While much of the combat and minigames have already been showcased, the stream promises additional surprises. Although the Direct focuses on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds regarding potential teases for other projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or even another glimpse at Project Century, though the latter seems less likely given the event's title.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst a crowded February release schedule including titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The upcoming Direct will undoubtedly shed more light on what awaits players.
