As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for wrestling and the Yakuza series, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Samoa Joe joining the cast of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. With a life spent navigating the gritty underworlds of games like Yakuza and the squared circles of WWE and AEW, it’s only fitting that I should find myself on a tropical island, battling pirates with both swordplay and wrestling moves.
Samoa Joe, once a prominent figure in WWE and AEW champion, is set to feature in the recently announced game titled “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii“. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has unveiled this new installment as a spin-off of their popular Yakuza series. The story revolves around Goro Majima, who loses his memory on an island near Hawaii. He then joins forces with a young boy named Noah to investigate a conspiracy involving the yakuza and a radioactive waste dump. In the course of events, he assumes command of a pirate crew.
The recent Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii trailer featured plenty of action, with Goro battling pirates with both sword attacks and martial arts moves. While there didn’t seem to be any shown in the trailer, it wouldn’t be surprising if Goro unleashes some wrestling-inspired finishers in his latest adventure, as past Yakuza games have allowed players to defeat enemies using powerbombs and suplexes worthy of the squared circle. Real-life champions of the ring like Kenny Omega, The Great Muta, and Hiroshi Tanahashi have also appeared in the Yakuza series, with Yoshiaki Fujiwara even having a recurring role as The Florist of Sai.
It appears that another iconic wrestler is set to join the ranks of the Yakuza series, and this individual might be familiar to fans of WWE and AEW. On the r/AEWOfficial Reddit forum shortly after Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was unveiled, Samoa Joe was spotted in a brief appearance at the trailer’s end. Although his role within the game isn’t yet entirely clear due to his limited screen time, it seems he might be a pirate adversary that Goro and his companions could potentially consult for advice at some juncture.
