Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be the most whimsical entry in the Like a Dragon series, but it's certainly not as sprawling as Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. If you're curious about the time commitment and chapter structure of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, here's what you need to know.
Here’s How Many Chapters There Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is comprised of five chapters, matching the chapter count of Like a Dragon Gaiden but offering less than half the chapters found in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Here's a rundown of the chapters and their titles:
Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness
Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
Chapter 4: Treasure Island
Finale: White Whale
The journey begins with you taking on the role of the former Yakuza, Goro Majima, who finds himself stranded on Rich Island in Hawaii after a shipwreck. Stricken with amnesia, Majima recognizes the world around him but not his own identity. As the story unfolds, you'll discover whether he regains his memory.
Unlike other games in the series, Pirate Yakuza does not include the familiar Tokyo district of Kamurocho. However, you'll explore Hawaii's main island, which was also featured in Infinite Wealth, starting from Chapter 2.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?
As with other entries in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, Pirate Yakuza offers numerous side-quests and optional activities. Focusing solely on the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16 to 20 hours to complete the game. Don't worry about missing out on content; you can return to tackle any side activities or quests after finishing the main story.
For those aiming for 100% completion, including every activity and quest, you'll need approximately 40 hours to fully experience everything the game has to offer.
When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza is set shortly after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and may serve as a precursor to a potential sequel. You don't need prior knowledge from Infinite Wealth as Pirate Yakuza provides necessary background information.
However, if you plan to play Infinite Wealth at some point, consider playing it first. Pirate Yakuza reveals a significant plot point from Infinite Wealth early on, which could spoil your experience if you haven't played the latter game yet.
So, there you have it—the chapters of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and a guide on how long it takes to beat the game.
