Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii is a spinoff entry in the long-running franchise and sees Majima-san waking up on a beach with no memory of who he is. As such, he quickly reinvents himself as a pirate and takes to the open seas, complete with his own ship and crew, setting the scene for a modern day swashbuckling adventure with a Yakuza flavour. Players will be able to take place in adrenaline-pumping real-time ship battles with enemies on the high seas, forming unlikely friendships and acquiring huge wealth in the process.
SEGA will publish Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii on February 21, 2025 for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
