The next game in the Like a Dragon series was almost a fishing game: 'I wanted to make a game called Like a Dragon: Tuna'

Among the many games on the February 2025 videogame calendar is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, a Like a Dragon spin-off featuring fan favorite Goro Majima dressing as a pirate and fighting his way across Hawaii. Yet, as wild as that idea seems, we could have had an even stranger spin-off.

"During the end of the Infinite Wealth development," RGG studio director and series executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama told the PlayStation Blog, "we began percolating the idea of a spin-off that stars characters who are not Ichiban Kasuga. It was almost as if we were creating a blown-up sub-story for Infinite Wealth. For quite some time, I wanted to make a game called Like a Dragon: Tuna, where Kazuma Kiryu, as a tuna fisherman, sets off to sea to fight against fishing boats."
