New Free Game+ Mode Coming to Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into the exciting world of gaming news! While we're all anxiously awaiting updates on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a beloved franchise: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a captivating gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its pirate-themed adventure set in Hawaii.

The showcased footage highlighted extensive ship customization, thrilling open-sea exploration, intense naval battles, engaging mini-games, and a diverse array of explorable locations. A key element is Goro Majima's dual combat styles: a swift, agile approach and a powerful style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players will assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunting. The game promises a wealth of hidden islands and original side quests to uncover during gameplay.

A significant announcement concluded the presentation: the highly anticipated "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 of SEGA. This positive development means we only have to wait roughly six weeks for the official launch.
