Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth has the biggest map of any Yakuza game

RGG Studio already said the next Yakuza game is a “monster-class” effort, but apparently, that extends to Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth’s map, which is the series’ biggest. RGG said in a new blog post (translated by Google Translate) that Honolulu and its surrounding areas are three times the size of Yokohama in Yakuza: Like A Dragon almost 10 times the size of Kamurocho.

Mmonster-class doesn’t sound like such an exaggeration after all now. This area, presumably, doesn’t include the customizable, Animal Crossing-like island retreat either.

The first area RGG highlighted is the beach, one of the city’s busiest and most popular attractions, which makes Ichiban’s nude arrival even more humiliating for the poor guy. You can surf and swim here if you want to.

There’s a large commercial district, probably based on the Ala Moana shopping center in IRL Honolulu; Waikiki Town if you want even more shopping; Chinatown, with its large international bank and probably one of the series’ signature Surprise Chinese Mafia moments; and a Little Japan region, with sushi restaurants, a shrine, and a “mysterious mascot.”

RGG ended the post with a cryptic tease about District 5, an area off-limits to the general public and the home of Honolulu’s local mafia.

The city hides secrets aplenty, including special weapons and other items to help Ichiban and his friends along their way. RGG encourages us to explore everywhere, including the toilets and trash cans.

Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth launches on Jan. 26, 2024.
