Fans of the Yakuza series, get ready! Excitement is building for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which is poised for release on February 21, 2025. If you’re eagerly anticipating more information, make sure to tune into the upcoming Like a Dragon Direct scheduled for this Thursday, January 9, where new gameplay elements will be unveiled. Unlike the more recent installments of the Like a Dragon RPG series, this title will bring back the celebrated real-time combat style reminiscent of the early Kiryu saga. This time, players will step into the shoes of Goro Majima, as the storyline unfolds in Hawaii following the events of last year’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
But the buzz around Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is not limited to just this new title. The studio made waves during the 2024 Game Awards last month, revealing two major upcoming projects: Virtua Fighter 6 and a mysterious new IP dubbed Project Century. Set against the backdrop of Japan in 1915, this Yakuza-inspired action brawler has sparked speculation regarding its ties to the broader Yakuza/Like a Dragon saga, with some fan theories suggesting it may delve into the origins of the Omi Alliance.

RGG Studio has already shared substantial insights into Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, showcasing various combat mechanics and engaging mini-games. Fans are eagerly anticipating what fresh content will be revealed during the livestream. While the direct announcement specifically mentioned focusing exclusively on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, there’s a chance that hints regarding other projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or more details on Project Century, could also surface. However, considering the event is themed around Like a Dragon, it seems unlikely that these other titles will take center stage at this time.
The anticipation surrounding Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is palpable as its launch approaches. Slated for release on multiple platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, it promises to offer a unique experience that distinguishes it from other titles debuting in February, such as Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, and Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment. With just days to go before the content reveal, fans are eager to see what surprises RGG Studio has in store.
