After the release of Like a Dragon : Infinite Wealth in January 2024, the cult series from RGG Studio takes another small step aside, which had already delivered a spin-off in November 2023 with Like a Dragon Gaiden : The Man Who Erased His Name. The next title in the license features a certain Goro Majima as a unique main character, a great first.
Like a Dragon : Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has just been shown in detail in a long presentation broadcast on the SEGA YouTube channel.
Brawls galore in Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Majima washes up in a sad state, with amnesia, on a beach in the fishing village of Rich Island at the start of the game. He meets Noah’s family and thus makes his first friends in this naval adventure. Unfortunately, not everyone is as friendly on the islands around Rich Island.
In Madlantis, ruthless criminals and pirates abound. This is the place with the most additional activities, starting with the one requiring you to show off your fighting skills: the coliseum.
Goro Majima, very present in the series Yakuza of Amazon Prime Video, can also go to Nele Island, essential island in the history of Yakuza : Like a Dragon. You will meet ex-yakuzas well known to fans. The trailer suggests that this location will hang up between this episode and the previous ones. Goro Majima could well find his memory there…
Kazuma Kiryu’s former friend has two fighting styles in Like a Dragon : Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The Mad Dog style allows him to strike rapid attacks with your knife and making counters. Overpowered Fervor actions are still in play. Once his rage gauge is full, Majima can summon ghostly doubles leaving his opponents with little chance of survival.
The hero calls upon all the pirate equipment in the unique Sea Wolf style. He can throw his knives like boomberangs, get close to enemies with the grappling hook, and shoot them down from a distance with his pistols. You can also call for reinforcements with instruments when the rage gauge is full, equivalent to acolytes of Like a Dragon et Infinite Wealth.
Note that Majima’s electric jump will allow you to perform multiple combos in the aira great first for the series. The makeshift items will be useful to Majima in addition to his whip, his revolver and his blades.
A crew to manage before boarding
Obviously, Pirate in Hawaii gives pride of place to naval battles aboard the Goroma. First of all, it will be necessary to assemble a crew: you will be able to recruit more than 100 sailors in the game. It is then also necessary to distribute the members of the crew effectively to the different parts of the boat to balance attack and defense. A tactical part reminiscent of the management of hostesses or Sujimons.
To decimate opposing pirates, you can rely on multiple weapons such as energy cannons, lasers or flamethrowers. Boarding once the ship is weakened you will be able to face the enemy crew and captain.

Pre-ordering the game allows you to add Ichiban and his crayfish Nancy as a crew member and receive his iconic red outfit. Note that the new game+ will be added free of charge later. SEGA fell on its heels by its community by reserving this option for the Deluxe version of Like a Dragon : Infinite Wealth and therefore reviews his copy for the next opus.
Like a Dragon : Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be released on February 21 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC (Steam).
