Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Demo Available Today

A free demo for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, launches today! Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), the demo unlocks at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK. The full game releases February 21st, also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but these platforms will miss out on the demo.

RGG Studio's announcement on X/Twitter doesn't confirm demo progress carrying over to the full game. The demo offers early access to freeroam areas and battles in Honolulu and Madlantis, deviating from the main storyline.

Demo highlights include:

• Exploration of Honolulu and Madlantis (normally unavailable early-game).
• Access to "Mad Dog" and "Sea Dog" fighting styles.
• Battles against powerful bounty enemies.
• Four ship and deck battles in the Pirates' Coliseum.
• New customization options.
• Karaoke featuring three songs.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii follows Goro Majima's amnesiac pirate adventure in Hawaii. The October Xbox Partner Showcase trailer showcased ship combat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, and the return of Taiga Saejima hints at deeper connections to the main series.

Expect a longer playtime than Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, with an estimated 15-18 hour story. Unlock the Kiryu Kazuma costume by signing up for email notifications or a Sega rewards program.
