Like a Dragon Direct Date Announced

Get ready, Yakuza fans! A Like a Dragon Direct is set to air later this week, offering a closer look at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii before its February release. Unlike recent mainline entries, this title revives the fluid, real-time combat system reminiscent of the original Kiryu saga, starring Goro Majima in a Hawaiian adventure following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made waves at the 2024 Game Awards with reveals of Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century, a 1915 Japan-set action brawler with potential Yakuza universe connections, generated even more buzz.

The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, streams on Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST on YouTube and Twitch. RGG promises new gameplay reveals while minimizing story spoilers.

Like a Dragon Direct Details:

• Date: January 9th
• Time: 12 PM EST
• Platforms: YouTube, Twitch

While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been showcased, the stream promises further details. Although the Direct focuses on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds regarding potential teases of other RGG projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or even another glimpse at Project Century, though the latter seems less likely given the event's title.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst a crowded February release schedule including titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The upcoming stream will undoubtedly shed more light on what awaits players.
