Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza's Hawaii Adventure Begins Today

A free demo for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, launches today! Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK, this demo offers a taste of the full game's action.

The demo, announced via X/Twitter, allows players to jump ahead to experience specific freeroam and combat sections in Honolulu and Madlantis, areas not accessible at the game's start. Progress likely won't carry over to the full game, which releases February 21st on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (without a demo).

Key features in the demo include:

• Exploration of Honolulu and Madlantis.
• Use of "Mad Dog" and "Sea Dog" fighting styles.
• Battles against powerful bounty enemies.
• Four ship and deck battles in the Pirates' Coliseum.
• New customization options.
• Karaoke featuring three songs.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, following the amnesiac pirate Goro Majima, is a significant expansion compared to previous spin-offs, boasting a playtime of approximately 15-18 hours. The October Xbox Partner Showcase trailer showcased ship combat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and the return of Taiga Saejima, hinting at deeper connections to the main series. A Kiryu Kazuma costume is available for players who subscribe to email notifications or a Sega rewards program.
