As a seasoned Yakuza fan with countless hours spent navigating the seedy underbelly of Kamurocho and beyond, I am thrilled to hear that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be significantly longer than its predecessor spin-off. With a story campaign roughly 1.3–1.5 times longer than The Man Who Erased His Name, this new adventure promises to deliver the immersive, action-packed experience I’ve come to expect from the series.
In contrast to its predecessors in the series spin-off, “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” is set to be considerably more extensive, as Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has disclosed. The Japanese development team even provided an estimation, hinting that completing “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” might require at least 15 hours of gameplay.
At the RGG Summit 2024 on September 20, the company formally unveiled “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” This game is a spin-off featuring Goro Majima set in a pirate theme. The choice of setting for this game was suggested to enable RGG Studio to make use of some of the new assets they had developed for “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth,” which was released in January 2024.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Will Be ‘1.3–1.5 Times’ Longer Than Like a Dragon Gaiden
Despite being known for its shorter games among spin-offs, Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s upcoming title, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, is expected to deliver substantial content. This is based on information shared by Masayoshi Yokoyama, the writer, producer, and director of Sega who has been part of the series since its beginning. In an interview with Famitsu, Yokoyama mentioned that Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will boast a storyline “1.3 to 1.5 times” longer than Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, the most recent spin-off entry released back in November 2023.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Story Length Will Be Comparable to Yakuza 1–3 and 6
Compared to other games in the Like a Dragon series, “The Man Who Erased His Name” is the shortest, approximately 12 hours long according to player data. This implies that “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” will likely take between 15 and 18 hours to finish, which falls within the range of many games in the well-known Yakuza franchise, including the original three Yakuza games and Y6: The Song of Life.
Yokoyama didn’t try to calculate the duration of a full gameplay experience in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. However, based on Sega’s history, it’s reasonable to expect that playing through every aspect of the game might take around three times longer than merely completing the story. For instance, a completionist playthrough of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name usually lasts more than 32 hours on average, according to data from How Long To Beat.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” is set to launch on February 27, 2025. This action role-playing game from Sega will be playable on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Notably, the game will star former WWE superstar Samoa Joe alongside its substantial storyline.
