Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii: A Blend of Serious Drama and Hilarious Mayhem
RGG Studio promises a unique mix of intense drama and comedic chaos in the upcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. This latest installment will push the boundaries of reality while delivering a compelling "manly drama," according to the developers.
A More Serious Majima?
While the series is renowned for its humor, especially Majima's comedic antics, director Masayoshi Yokoyama hints at a "more serious" side to Majima, particularly at the story's outset. Producer Ryosuke Horii emphasizes the core "manly drama," focusing on Majima's passionate pursuit of his goals and the bonds he forges throughout his wild adventure. He clarifies that while there will be plenty of outlandish moments, the narrative centers on a passionate man's journey.
Majima's Unique Appeal
Horii highlights Majima's unique qualities, differentiating him from series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. This difference justifies Majima's leading role, pushing the boundaries of reality to deliver diverse and engaging action. The team aimed for a perfect balance between the pirate theme, Majima's personality, and the overall Like a Dragon essence.
Majima's Maji Festival
To celebrate the game's launch, RGG Studio is hosting Majima's Maji Festival across six Japanese cities. The tour, which began in Sapporo on December 1st, 2024, concludes in Nagoya (January 18th) and Tokyo (January 25th).
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, starring the iconic "Mad Dog of Shimano," Goro Majima, promises an unforgettable modern-day pirate adventure with thrilling combat, naval battles, memorable characters, and a captivating story. It launches on February 21st for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
