Game Overview:
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an action-adventure game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega.
It is set after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and stars series mainstay Goro Majima as its central protagonist.
The newly released spinoff's sales are a little under what Like a Dragon Gaiden managed upon its release back in 2023.

RGG Studio also shares a video of the Goromaru and its crew engaging in a sea shanty with Majima Construction Anthem vibes.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an addictive, fun and an absurd experience. But most importantly, it is a complete blast to play through.
The demo includes battles in Honolulu, karaoke with various tracks, and naval combat in Madlantis before the game's release.
