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 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 with reveals of 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, generated even more buzz, sparking speculation about its connection to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon universe – possibly detailing the Omi Alliance's origins.
The Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, streams on YouTube and Twitch Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST. RGG promises new gameplay features without major story spoilers.
Like a Dragon Direct Details:

While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been showcased, the upcoming stream promises further reveals. Although the Direct focuses on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds about potential teases of other projects, including the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or perhaps another glimpse of Project Century, though the latter seems less likely given the event's title.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst February's other big releases like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The mystery of what RGG Studio will unveil remains, but the wait is almost over.
