What is Like A Dragon: Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii about?

A grand adventure with new thrills beckons (Image via SEGA)

Featuring the beloved ex-Yakuza Goro Majima, this new spin-off is set after the events of last year's Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth mainline entry. Instead of the turn-based RPG gameplay of the newer entries, Majima's sea-faring adventure is a return to the traditional action-based brawler combat — this time with guns, swords, and ships.

Majima must adapt to the coastal life after he finds himself stranded in Hawaii. He must gather a new crew while finding himself trapped amid the chaotic underworld warfare of a new world. Taking it a notch higher, the action seems even more high-octane than ever before, with over-the-top flashy moves and outlandish naval combat accounted for, both in tradition with the series' goofy nature.
