Get ready, Yakuza fans! A Like a Dragon Direct is set for later this week, offering a closer look at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii before its February release. Unlike recent mainline entries, this title returns to the fluid, real-time combat system reminiscent of the original Kiryu saga, starring Goro Majima in a Hawaiian adventure following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made waves at the 2024 Game Awards, unveiling Virtua Fighter 6 and a new IP, Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century, a 1915 Japan-set action brawler with potential Yakuza universe connections, generated significant buzz.
The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, streams on Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST on YouTube and Twitch. RGG promises new gameplay showcases while minimizing story spoilers.

While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been revealed, the Direct promises fresh content. Speculation abounds about potential teases of other RGG projects, including a rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or perhaps another glimpse at Project Century, though the event's title suggests a primary focus on the Hawaii-set adventure.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst a crowded February release lineup including Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The upcoming Direct will undoubtedly shed more light on what awaits players.
