The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anticipating news on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a fan-favorite franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing key details.
The showcased footage highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct fighting styles: a swift, agile approach and a more brutal style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can recruit a colorful cast of unique allies to bolster their pirate crew, providing assistance in combat, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises hidden islands brimming with secrets and original side quests to uncover.
A significant announcement closed the presentation: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This is a welcome change from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition—a decision that drew considerable criticism of SEGA. This positive development means we only have to wait approximately six weeks for the official release.
