Yakuza enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the release of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on February 21 can get a sneak peek during the upcoming Like a Dragon Direct. Scheduled for Thursday, January 9 at 12 PM Eastern Time, the event will be live-streamed on YouTube and Twitch. This game marks a departure from the recent mainline Like a Dragon RPGs by reintroducing the beloved real-time combat system from the original Kiryu saga, with Goro Majima taking the lead in a story set in Hawaii following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
In addition to Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio made waves at the 2024 Game Awards with the announcement of Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, Project Century. RGG Studio's involvement in reviving Sega's long-dormant fighting game franchise was a surprise, but it was Project Century that captured fans' imaginations. This action brawler, set in 1915 Japan, has sparked speculation about its potential connections to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon universe, with some theorizing it might explore the origins of the Omi Alliance.
The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct promises to showcase new gameplay features of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii without revealing too much of the narrative. While RGG Studio has already revealed much about the game's combat and minigames, fans are curious about what additional surprises await in the stream. Although the event focuses on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, there's speculation that RGG might tease other projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake. However, given the event's title, it's unlikely that Project Century will be featured, especially so soon after its initial reveal.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is set to launch on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, promising a unique and entertaining experience amidst other major February releases like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. Fans won't have to wait long to see what RGG Studio has in store for this exciting new chapter in the Yakuza series.
