Later in the video, he says that he hopes players will \u201cenjoy the world of hunting\u201d (or \u201cenjoy hunting\u201d as per the official translation) after playing Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, alluding to Capcom\u2019s Monster Hunter Wilds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest mainline entry in the Monster Hunter series was recently announced for a February 28 launch, which would have overlapped with Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii\u2019s release.
