"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - Chapter Guide and Completion Time"

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be one of the more whimsical entries in the Like a Dragon series, but how does its size compare to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth? If you're curious about the length of the game and the structure of its chapters, here's what you need to know.

Here’s How Many Chapters There Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii features a total of five chapters, matching the chapter count of Like a Dragon Gaiden but falling short of the extensive chapter list in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Here's a breakdown of the chapters and their titles:

• Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
• Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness
• Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
• Chapter 4: Treasure Island
• Finale: White Whale

The game kicks off with you stepping into the shoes of former Yakuza member Goro Majima, who finds himself washed up on Rich Island in Hawaii after a shipwreck. Majima starts with amnesia, aware of the Yakuza world but not his own identity. Even when others call him by name, it means nothing to him. The mystery of his identity unfolds as you progress through the game.

Unlike other games in the series, Pirate Yakuza does not include the familiar Tokyo district of Kamurocho. However, you do get to explore Hawaii's main island, as seen in Infinite Wealth, starting from Chapter 2.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?

As with all games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii offers numerous side-quests and optional activities. If you stick to the main storyline, you can expect to spend around 16-20 hours to complete the game. Don't worry about missing out on side content, as you can return to any missed activities or quests after finishing the main story.

If you aim to fully immerse yourself in the game, completing every activity and side-quest, you're looking at a total playtime of approximately 40 hours.

When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is set shortly after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and could potentially set the stage for a sequel to Infinite Wealth. You don't need to have played Infinite Wealth to enjoy Pirate Yakuza, as the game provides necessary context.

However, if you plan on playing Infinite Wealth in the future, consider playing it first. Pirate Yakuza reveals a significant plot point from Infinite Wealth within its opening hours, which could spoil your experience of the latter game.

So, there you have it: all the chapters in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and a detailed guide on how long it takes to beat the game.
