Discovering Goro Majima: The Pirate Yakuza Adventure Awaits! 🌊

Mark your calendars for February 28, 2025, as RGG Studio brings us the much-anticipated sequel to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth—Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii! 🌴 This exciting new chapter features the beloved Goro Majima as the sole protagonist, and it promises to take us on a thrilling pirate adventure one can only dream of!

A Hearing from the Creators 🎤

In a recent interview with Mr. Masayoshi Yokoyama, RGG Studio’s Director and Executive Producer of the Like a Dragon series, along with Mr. Hiroyuki Sakamoto, the Chief Producer, we gained insight into how this unique concept came to life.

The Inspiration Behind Majima and Pirates 🏴‍☠️

Yokoyama shared that the idea began as early as June 2023, when discussions for a potential Infinite Wealth spin-off were already brewing. "Even if we were to make Like a Dragon 9, we knew that wouldn’t be enough to capture and tell the story," Yokoyama noted. The transition from a potential game about tuna fishing to pirates is both humorous and intriguing, capturing the chaotic essence fans love about Like a Dragon.

Why Majima? 🤔

Majima, known for his unpredictability and complexity, was chosen for this spin-off to bring a refreshing twist to the protagonist's role. With a past shrouded in mystery and emotional depth, his journey to discover his real self while tackling amnesia promises to engage players in a novel storytelling experience. The dynamic will not only reveal his true self but also offer a compelling parallel with a new character, Noah, shaping Majima's narrative in surprising ways.

A Unique Combat System 🥋

One of the highlights of the upcoming game is the new combat system featuring two battle styles: Mad Dog and Sea Dog. Sakamoto commented, “Majima uses nimble moves, and we wanted to simplify his battle moves. Players can execute exhilarating moves by merely pressing the buttons.”

Jumping into Action 🚀

For the first time in the series, players will experience jumping mechanics that enhance gameplay. As Yokoyama explained, “Introducing jumping changes the gameplay drastically.” This adds a new layer of strategy and excitement to battles, allowing players to unleash unique combo moves seamlessly.

Players who attended the Tokyo Game Show in 2024 came away raving about the dynamic fights, and as the team refines the styles, both Mad Dog and Sea Dog are poised for balance in entertainment.

Conclusion: The Journey Ahead 🌊

As we count down the days to the release of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the anticipation builds around Goro Majima’s character development, innovative combat, and the promises of thrilling storytelling. Mark your calendars, prepare your gear, and get ready to join Majima on an unforgettable adventure filled with swashbuckling encounters!

With vibrant visuals and engaging gameplay, the game is sure to captivate both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for updates as we dive deeper into the world of Goro Majima and the escapades awaiting us in Hawaii! 🏖️
