Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is just as bonkers as the name makes it sound, but next year's swashbuckling action spin-off also pushes the series forward in some key ways.
Announced at today's RGG Summit 2024 as a follow-up to Infinite Wealth's Hawaiian antics, Pirate Yakuza is a first in many respects. It's Goro Majima's first time leading a game all on his lonesome after holding on to his undefeated Fan Favorite Side Character belt for over a decade. It's the first time, in any piece of media, that I've seen yakuza-pirate mutants. And it's the first-ever game in the series to introduce a jump button.
