Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Unleashes New Free Game+ Mode

The gaming world is back in full swing after the holiday break! While we're all still waiting for Nintendo Switch 2 news, there's exciting news about another fan-favorite franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its pirate-themed adventure in Hawaii.

The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. A key feature is Goro Majima's dual combat styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more brutal style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises a wealth of hidden islands and original side quests to uncover.

A major announcement came at the presentation's conclusion: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This is a welcome change from the previous game, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism from SEGA. This free update is great news for players, and with the release date only about six weeks away, the wait won't be long!
