Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s new game tries a little trick, but this time you don’t have to spend money on two products.
SEGA has become a bit more marketing savvy. In fact, Like a Dragon’s new side story (because that’s what it is, only in the West they’ve hidden it from the game’s title) won’t be a bigger, more elaborate title than this year’s Like A Dragon (8): Infinite Wealth, but it still sounds positively exciting. But what do we think of when we think of a tie?
You pay one, you get one. SEGA wants you to sign up for the SEGA newsletter. If you do so by February 25th, you’ll receive a download code for Majima Goro’s Dragon of Dojima costume in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (worn by former protagonist Kazuma Kiryu in older Yakuza episodes). So if you buy the game and then sign up for the newsletter, you’ll get it as an extra.
A new legend begins as you step into the steel-toed boots of Goro Majima, a man who has lost his memory and is reinventing himself as a pirate on the high seas. Embark on an over-the-top, modern-day pirate adventure with an ex-yakuza-turned-pirate captain and his crew as they engage in exhilarating battles on land and sea in search of lost memories and a legendary treasure. Goro Majima, a notorious ex-yakuza, suddenly finds himself shipwrecked on a remote island in the Pacific. Unable to remember even his own name, he sets sail in search of clues to his lost memories, accompanied by a boy named Noah who saved his life. Before long, they’re caught up in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates, and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.
Assemble a unique crew and upgrade your ship as you explore the open seas and forge your legend in the cannon fire of enemies, unexpected friendships, and immense riches. When an enemy pirate ship sets its sights on you, an exhilarating real-time cannon battle ensues. Quickly maneuver into position while dodging fire, then inflict devastating damage to board the enemy ship and take down the captain in all-out crew versus crew battles. Conquer the oceans, discover hidden islands, and acquire loads of loot like a true Yakuza pirate! Dynamically switch between “Mad Dog” and “Pirate” fighting styles to mix up your attacks and perform explosive combos, juggling and aerial takedowns that reward your creativity with over-the-top action. With the Mad Dog style, use speed, agility, and flair to deliver precise yet powerful punches that knock your opponents into submission. Or make your enemies walk the plank with the “Pirate” style, where you wield two short swords and use tricky pirate tools to steal some serious loot. In addition to his signature Mad Dog style, which is all about speed, Majima can also use his new Sea Dog style to wield a cutlass and other pirate gear. Pick the style that works best for you to kick, punch and slash your way through the filthy bilge rats that stand in your way!
Like a dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam/Microsoft Store), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 21.
