During the RGG Summit livestream\u00a0<\/strong>held on September 20, Sega\u2019s RGG Studio announced\u00a0Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>the latest Gaiden entry in the Like a Dragon Series.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming title is a pirate-themed action-adventure game featuring recurring antagonist Goro Majima as the main playable character. This is the first time in the Like a Dragon series\u2019 history that Majima Goro will appear as a single protagonist. However, that\u2019s not all that\u2019s new \u2013 Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will introduce jumps in combat, which is another first for the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from finally including jumps, combat in the latest Like a Dragon title will revolve around two new fighting styles with a distinctly different feel from that of Kazuma Kiryu\u2019s \u2013 the Mad Dog Style and the Sea Dog Style. Both are designed to express Majima\u2019s unique quirks and personality, but the former will be a \u201cclassic\u201d Majima style, acrobatic and speedy with lots of punches. Based on a short teaser clip shown, it seems Majima will even be able to spawn clones of himself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Sea Dog Style will be a \u201cpirate\u201d style, enabling Majima to double-wield swords, shoot guns, fire a wire hook to zap around the field and more. According to RGG Studio\u2019s lead planner Ryosuke Horii, the combat is designed to be accessible even for less experienced players.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii<\/strong> is scheduled to release on February 28, 2025 for the PC (Steam), PS4\/PS4 and Xbox One\/Xbox Series X|S <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
