The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all still waiting with bated breath for Nintendo Switch 2 updates, we have some fantastic news about a fan-favorite series. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing some key details.
The showcased gameplay featured extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and a diverse range of 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 recruit unique allies to bolster their crew, providing assistance in combat, exploration, and treasure hunting. The game promises a wealth of hidden islands and original side quests to discover.
A significant announcement came at the presentation's close: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition! This is a welcome change from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where this mode was initially exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing considerable criticism of SEGA. This is excellent news, and with the official release just a month and a half away, the wait will be worth it.
