Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii announced, coming February 2025

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has sent a wave of excitement through the gaming community, myself included. The Yakuza series has always been a favorite of mine, and the prospect of exploring new territories like Hawaii while embodying the legendary figure of Goro Majima is too enticing to pass up.


Sega, along with RGG Studio, have unveiled the upcoming addition to the Yakuza series titled “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” This game is slated for release in early 2025.

In a contemporary spin reminiscent of pirate tales, the notorious yakuza figure Goro Majima’s legend will unfold. Sega has officially announced that this game will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and PC (Steam and Windows) on February 28th, 2025.

Just like “The Man Who Erased His Name,” we’re heading back to the action-packed beat-em-up genre. However, the mainline numbered Like a Dragon games will keep their turn-based role-playing game characteristics intact.

Check out the reveal trailer, below:

In the game as Majima, you’ll build a unique team and enhance your ship, the “Goromaru.” You’ll sail, fight off pirate ships, and conquer both open seas and secret islands. During combat, you can unleash powerful combos in mid-air or perform takedowns by switching between two distinct fighting styles: wielding short swords for fast, agile attacks or employing pirate tools in the flashy “Sea Dog” style, or using speed and flair to overwhelm enemies with the notorious “Mad Dog” style.

Pre-orders are open now for the game, and come in the following versions:

  • Standard Edition (Digital/Physical)
  • Deluxe Edition (Digital) – includes DLC customization and character packs.
  • Collector’s Edition (Physical) – includes the base game, Deluxe Edition DLC Code, and special limited merchandise including a replica of Goro Majima’s eye patch, treasure coin pin, and more. Please visit the official website for further details.

Additionally, you’ll find some pre-order incentives: “the ‘Ichiban Pirate Crew Pack’ which incorporates the well-known Yakuza character Ichiban Kasuga and his pet crawfish Nancy into Majima’s ‘Goro Pirates’ gang, as well as the ‘Ichiban Special Outfit Set’ that lets you dress up Majima in two of Ichiban Kasuga’s signature outfits.

On February 28th, 2025, the game “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” will be available for play on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X.
