Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Demo Available Today

by Simon Feb 28,2025

A free demo for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, launches today! Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK time.

The demo, announced via X/Twitter by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, offers a taste of the full game's freeroam and combat, but progress won't carry over. Players can explore parts of Honolulu and Madlantis (areas inaccessible early in the main game), experiment with the Mad Dog and Sea Dog fighting styles, battle powerful bounty enemies, engage in ship and deck battles in the Pirates' Coliseum, utilize new customization options, and even enjoy karaoke with three songs.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, launching February 21st (also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, without a demo), features Goro Majima's amnesiac pirate adventure in Hawaii. The October Xbox Partner Showcase trailer highlighted ship combat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and the return of Taiga Saejima, hinting at deeper connections to the main series.

Expect a longer experience than Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, with a playtime estimated at 15-18 hours. A Kiryu Kazuma costume is unlockable via email signup or Sega rewards program participation.
