New Game+ mode in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be free

The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anticipating news on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's update focuses on a different fan favorite. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing key details.

The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, engaging naval battles, diverse mini-games, and a wealth of explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct combat styles: a swift, agile approach and a more brutal style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players can recruit a unique crew to aid in battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises hidden islands brimming with discovery and original side quests to uncover.

A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This is a welcome change from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where this mode was initially exclusive to the pricier edition, a decision that drew criticism of SEGA. This is excellent news, and with the game launching in just over a month and a half, the wait won't be too long.
