Like a Dragon Direct Date Revealed

Yakuza enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the release of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* this February can mark their calendars for an exciting *Like a Dragon Direct* later this week. This upcoming title promises to bring back the fluid, real-time combat beloved from the original Kiryu saga, but with a twist—Goro Majima takes the lead. Set in the picturesque backdrop of Hawaii, the game will explore Majima's adventures post the events of *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*, offering fans a fresh narrative in a familiar yet thrilling setting.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the acclaimed developers behind the *Like a Dragon* series, have been busy. At the 2024 Game Awards, they unveiled not only *Virtua Fighter 6* but also a mysterious new IP known as *Project Century*. The studio's decision to revive Sega's iconic fighting game franchise was a pleasant surprise, yet *Project Century*—an action brawler set in 1915 Japan—captured the most attention. Speculation is rife about its potential connections to the *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* universe, with some theorizing it could explore the origins of the Omi Alliance.

As *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* gears up for its release on February 21, RGG Studio has scheduled a *Like a Dragon Direct* to delve deeper into the game. Fans can catch the livestream on YouTube or Twitch on Thursday, January 9 at 12 PM Eastern Time. The studio has assured that while the event will showcase new gameplay features, it won't spoil significant narrative elements, keeping the excitement intact for the game's launch.

Since its announcement, RGG Studio has been steadily unveiling details about *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, including its combat mechanics and minigames.
