The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into the exciting world of gaming news! While we eagerly anticipate updates on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a beloved franchise: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled fresh gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its pirate-themed Hawaiian adventure.
The showcased gameplay highlighted extensive ship customization, open-ocean exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and a diverse range of explorable locations. Goro Majima, a fan-favorite character, will boast two distinct combat styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more tactical style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises a wealth of discovery, including hidden islands and original side quests.
A significant announcement concluded the presentation: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This decision marks a positive change from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release where this feature was exclusive to a pricier edition, a move that drew criticism from SEGA. This welcome news means we only have to wait approximately six weeks until the official launch.
