《如龙》直面会日期公布

Get ready, Yakuza fans! A Like a Dragon Direct is set for later this week, offering a closer look at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii before its February release. Unlike recent mainline entries, this title brings back the fluid, real-time combat of the original Kiryu saga, starring Goro Majima in a Hawaiian adventure following the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) made a splash at the 2024 Game Awards with Virtua Fighter 6 and the new IP, Project Century. While RGG Studio's involvement with Virtua Fighter 6 surprised many, Project Century – a Yakuza-esque action brawler set in 1915 Japan – generated even more buzz, fueling speculation about its connection to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon universe.

The upcoming Like a Dragon Direct, focusing on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, streams Thursday, January 9th at 12 PM EST on YouTube and Twitch. RGG promises new gameplay reveals with minimal story spoilers.

Like a Dragon Direct Details:

• Date: January 9th
• Time: 12 PM EST
• Platforms: YouTube, Twitch

While much of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's combat and minigames have already been showcased, the Direct promises further surprises. Although the focus is on Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, fans are speculating about potential teases of other projects, such as a rumored Yakuza 3 Kiwami remake or even another glimpse at Project Century (though less likely given the event's title).

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC February 21st, promising a unique experience amidst February's other big releases, including Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Avowed. The mystery of what RGG Studio will reveal remains, but the wait is almost over.
