The gaming world is back in full swing after the holiday break! While we eagerly anticipate Nintendo Switch 2 news, let's focus on some exciting updates for a beloved franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its pirate-themed Hawaiian adventure.

The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, engaging naval battles, diverse mini-games, and a wealth of explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct combat styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more powerful style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.

Players can recruit a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises hidden islands and original side quests to discover.

A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch update! This is a welcome change from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where this feature was initially exclusive to a pricier edition, drawing criticism from SEGA. This positive development means players only need to wait approximately six weeks for the official release.
