The holiday break may be over, but the excitement in the gaming world is just heating up, especially with the latest announcements from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Forget about waiting for news on the Nintendo Switch 2 for now; let's dive into the thrilling updates on one of the fan favorites, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
During their recent presentation, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio showcased an array of gameplay features that have fans buzzing with anticipation. The video highlighted ship customization options, giving players the chance to tailor their vessels to their liking. Open sea exploration is set to be a key feature, allowing adventurers to sail the vast ocean and engage in exhilarating naval battles. The game will also include a variety of mini-games and diverse locations for players to explore, ensuring a rich and immersive experience.
One of the standout elements is the return of Goro Majima, who will wield two distinct combat styles. The first style focuses on speed and maneuverability, perfect for quick strikes and evasion. The second style emphasizes the use of short swords and pirate gear, adding a unique flair to combat encounters.
Players will also have the opportunity to recruit unique allies to their sea crew. These allies will play crucial roles in battles, world exploration, and treasure hunting, enhancing the cooperative aspect of the game. As you navigate the open seas, you'll uncover hidden islands and embark on original side quests, adding depth and variety to your adventure.
In a move that's sure to delight fans, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that the "New Game+" mode for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be free. However, players will need to wait for a post-release patch to access this feature. This decision comes after criticism of SEGA's handling of a similar mode in Infinite Wealth, which was initially only available in a more expensive edition. With the official release just about one and a half months away, the anticipation for this game is reaching fever pitch.
