- The game features traditional arcade action beat-em-up gameplay and is not turn-based.
As a seasoned Yakuza gamer with countless hours spent navigating the treacherous underworld of Kamurocho and beyond, I’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about the next installment in this beloved series. The recent leak about Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has me more than just intrigued!
It’s possible that “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” is one of several smaller spin-off games within the series, acting as intermediaries between the mainline entries. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio unveiled this unique spin-off, titled “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii“, earlier in September. In this game, Goro Majima takes on the role of the protagonist, who, suffering from amnesia, finds himself amidst a pirate conflict. Just as Majima would do, he rises to become a pirate lord and gathers his own crew to sail the seas.
The concept of “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” is reminiscent of “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name”, as it goes back to the original style of arcade action beat-em-up gameplay, unlike the turn-based JRPG style that has been used since “Yakuza: Like a Dragon”. Interestingly, its Japanese title translates to “Like a Dragon 8 Side Story: Pirates in Hawaii”. If rumors are true, there may be more “Gaiden” titles in the future.
The information about this game was initially shared through a post by Jawmuncher on Twitter, before its formal unveiling. While many aspects of the so-called “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” leak turned out to be accurate, there’s one detail that stands out towards the end. According to the leak, Sega’s executives were considering the use of the subtitle “Gaiden” to emphasize it as part of a spin-off series.
Smaller Titles Like Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Will Reportedly Tie Into Mainline Like a Dragon Games
One significant aspect of this leak concerns the anticipated release of smaller titles like “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,” which are expected to bridge gaps between main games. These titles serve to develop characters more fully, similar to how “Like a Dragon Gaiden” and “Infinite Wealth” were interconnected stories. “Like a Dragon Gaiden” was essentially an interquel that delved deeper into Kiryu’s character before his pivotal role in “Infinite Wealth.” It’s speculated that “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” could follow a similar path, providing backstory for Majima prior to his next significant appearance in a main “Like a Dragon” game. However, this is merely conjecture, and the veracity of this rumor should be approached with caution for now.
The Pirate Yakuza storyline set in Hawaii is planning for a more extensive narrative campaign compared to Gaiden, as Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has mentioned it will be approximately 1.3 to 1.5 times longer than its predecessor. Unlike the studio’s spin-offs which are usually shorter, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii seems to share a similar length with games like Yakuza 2 and 6.
