SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio revealed new details about Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, including substories, mini-games, and much more. Like previous Like a Dragon games, there’s plenty of content to explore outside of the main story.
In Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, protagonist Goro Majima will meet many characters who will require his aid in substories. Two of the substories in the game include “If I Weren’t an Idol” and “Getting With The Times: Pirates and Compliance.”
If I Weren’t an Idol – Majima comes across a young man agonizing over whether to join an idol’s bus tour. He senses that the boy is madly in love but too afraid to act on it, so Majima decides to tag along and encourage him. However, what starts as a fun experience with a bunch of idol fans slowly takes a turn for the worse…
Getting With The Times: Pirates and Compliance – Majima becomes acquainted with a captain whose old-school methods have made him fall out of favor with his crew. Just as they’re about to discuss what went wrong, the pair are approached by a man from a consulting firm. The two old sea dogs must undergo compliance training to become better captains. Do Majima and his new friend have what it takes to get with the times and master the art of modern pirating?
