The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anticipating updates on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a different fan favorite. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing some intriguing details.
The showcased video 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 nimble, speed-focused approach and a more brutal style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can assemble a unique crew of allies to aid in combat, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises a world filled with hidden islands and original side quests to uncover.
A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be free for all players! However, it won't be available at launch; instead, it will arrive via a post-release patch. This is a welcome change from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where the feature was initially exclusive to the pricier edition, a decision that drew criticism from SEGA. This positive update means we only have to wait approximately six weeks for the game's official release.
