Video previews combat, naval gameplay, Nele Island, minigames, Judgment characters

Sega streamed a RGG Like a Dragon Direct livestream on Thursday for Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (Ryū ga Gotoku 8 Gaiden: Pirates in Hawaii) game, and it reveals that New Game+ will be included as free DLC in a patch following the game's release, as opposed to paid DLC like in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The video also previews combat, naval gameplay, island hopping, Nele Island as a home for ex-Yakuza members, Madlantis, and minigames. Characters from the Judgment spinoff series appear in the trailer as possible pirate crew members.

Sega will release the game worldwide for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam on February 21, one week earlier than its originally planned release date February 28.

The game features Goro Majima as the protagonist, and takes place half a year after Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The story centers on Goro after he arrives at a beach after losing his memory, and how he comes to lead a band of pirates.

The game has three main locations: Hawaii, Rich Island, and Madlantis. Players can command a ship and sail to various islands.

Those who pre-order the standard, deluxe, or collector's edition of the game will get the Ichiban Kasuga Pirate Crew & Special Outfit, which will add Ichiban and his pet crawfish Nancy to the player's pirate crew, as well as two of Ichiban's outfits.

The deluxe edition includes a "Legendary Pirate Crew Pack," a ship customization pack, an outfit pack, and an extra karaoke and CD pack. The collector's edition includes the same extras as the Deluxe Edition but also adds an acrylic standee, an eye patch, a treasure coin pin, and a pirate flag.

The Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Ryū ga Gotoku 8) adventure role-playing game launched on January 26 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Windows and Steam. The game is a direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Sega announced the game in September 2022 as the eighth and newest mainline entry in the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise.

Sega and its Ryu ga Gotoku Studio revealed a new game with the development codename "Project Century" during The Game Awards on December 12.
