The holiday break is behind us, and it's time to dive back into the exciting world of gaming announcements! While the Nintendo Switch 2 remains highly anticipated, today's news centers on a beloved franchise: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a captivating gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its pirate-themed adventures in Hawaii.
The showcased footage highlighted extensive ship customization, expansive open-sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and a diverse array of explorable locations. A key feature is Goro Majima's dual combat styles: a lightning-fast, agile approach and a more strategic style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players will assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises a wealth of hidden islands and original side quests to uncover.
A significant announcement concluded the presentation: the highly requested "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This decision marks a positive departure from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism from SEGA. This welcome news means we only need to wait approximately six weeks for the official launch.
