Starring the Mad Dog himself
The next game in the Like a Dragon / Yakuza series has been officially announced, and you might want to sit down before hearing what it’s all about. It’s called Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (we’re already off to a good start), and it stars the legendary Majima Goro as a solo protagonist.
Majima’s in a bit of a pickle this time around, though. He wakes up on an island near Hawaii, and he’s been hit with a serious case of amnesia. He somehow ends up going on a pirate-themed adventure with the locals, and becomes the captain of his own ship. No, we’re not making this up.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii seems to take place after the events of Like a Dragon Gaiden and before Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Oh, and the combat is action-based; we actually get to see Majima pull off some crazy-looking aerial combo in the reveal trailer. The game’s sailing to both PS5 and PS4 on the 28th February, 2025.
What do you think of this insane concept? Finally cut loose in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you’re lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he’s played ’em all. A little too much, some might say.
