Author:Kristen Update:Apr 07,2025

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* might be the most whimsical entry in the *Like a Dragon* series, but how does its size compare to *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*? If you're curious about the length of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* and its chapter structure, here's everything you need to know.

How Many Chapters Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* consists of five chapters, matching the chapter count of *Like a Dragon Gaiden* but containing less than half the chapters found in *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*. Here's a breakdown of the chapters and their titles:

  • **Chapter 1: Shipwrecked** - You start as Goro Majima, a former Yakuza, who finds himself washed up on Rich Island in Hawaii, suffering from amnesia. While he remembers the Yakuza and the world around him, his own identity remains a mystery.
  • **Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness** - This chapter takes you to Hawaii's main island, a location familiar from *Infinite Wealth*.
  • **Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea**
  • **Chapter 4: Treasure Island**
  • **Finale: White Whale**

Unlike previous games, *Pirate Yakuza* does not include the Tokyo district of Kamurocho, focusing instead on the vibrant setting of Hawaii.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?

As with other games in the *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* series, *Pirate Yakuza* offers numerous side-quests and optional activities. If you stick to the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16 to 20 hours to complete the game. After finishing the main story, you can return to any missed activities and quests without worry.

For those aiming for 100% completion, including all activities and quests, the game will take around 40 hours to fully experience.

When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza* is set shortly after the events of *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth* and may serve as a precursor to a potential sequel. You don't need to have played *Infinite Wealth* to enjoy *Pirate Yakuza*, as the game provides necessary background information.

However, if you plan to play *Infinite Wealth*, consider doing so before *Pirate Yakuza*. The latter game reveals a significant plot point from *Infinite Wealth* early on, which could spoil your experience.
