Similar to what we saw with Like a Dragon Gaiden last year, This new installment is a spin-off, only this time Goro Majima will be the protagonist.Here, we will see a traditional action combat system for the series, leaving aside the turn-based RPG of Infinite Wealth.

In this way, Shimano’s Mad Dog will have to become a pirate to face a new danger and try to return to Japan.
As you could see in the trailer, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will have a combat system similar to Like a Dragon Gaiden, where Majima has access to two combat styles, as well as a series of extravagant movements focused on the character’s agility.Likewise, multiple traditional activities from the series are returning, such as karaoke and the Crazy Delivery minigame, and we are expected to see completely new secondary activities.
