"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Promises Enhanced Gameplay and Extended Adventure"

Fans of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise have a lot to anticipate in 2024, particularly with the upcoming release of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which follows the notable title Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This latest installment can be seen as a spinoff, prompting curiosity about its length, especially when considering that 2023's Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Individual Who Obliterated His Identity was a shorter experience, taking slightly over 10 hours to complete, with 20 hours allowing players to uncover nearly all there is to see.

According to recent statements from director Masayoshi Yokoyama, this new title is approximately 30% lengthier than its predecessor.

Taking this information into account, it is justifiable to infer the following:

• The main storyline is expected to take at least 15 hours to complete.
• Completionists aiming to explore every aspect of the game could spend up to 30 hours.

However, the extended gameplay experience will be reflected in the price, which will be $10 higher in the US compared to The Man Who Erased His Name.

The anticipated release date for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is February 21, making it available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
