Like a Dragon Direct Date Announced

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. This action-packed title, starring Goro Majima, features the series' classic real-time combat, a departure from the recent mainline RPG entries. The game follows Majima's adventures in Hawaii, continuing the story from last year's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's impressive showing at the 2024 Game Awards, where they unveiled Virtua Fighter 6 and a mysterious new IP, Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century, a 1915 Japan-set action brawler with potential Yakuza universe connections, generated even more buzz.

The Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, will stream on YouTube and Twitch this Thursday, January 9th, at 12 PM EST. RGG promises new gameplay reveals without major story spoilers.

Like a Dragon Direct Details:

• Date: January 9th
• Time: 12 PM EST
• Platforms: YouTube, Twitch

While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been showcased, the upcoming stream promises fresh reveals. Although the Direct is specifically for Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, speculation abounds regarding potential teases of other RGG projects, such as the rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or even another glimpse at Project Century (though less likely given the event's title).

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst a crowded February release schedule including titles 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.
