Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is releasing a free demo for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate of the Caribbean, today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
The studio announced the demo's 7 AM Pacific / 10 AM Eastern / 3 PM UK release on X/Twitter. The full game launches February 21st, also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but these platforms won't receive the demo.
While RGG Studio hasn't confirmed demo progress carrying over, the demo's content suggests otherwise. It allows players to jump ahead to freeroam and battle areas, bypassing the natural story progression.
Explore parts of Honolulu and Madlantis, locations unavailable early in the full game. The demo lets you switch between Mad Dog and Sea Dog fighting styles, battle powerful bounty enemies, tackle four ship and deck battles in the Pirates' Coliseum, experiment with new customization options, and enjoy karaoke with three songs.
Like a Dragon: Pirate of the Caribbean is a spin-off sequel to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the eighth mainline entry (ninth including Yakuza 0) in the Yakuza/ Like a Dragon series. It follows an amnesiac Goro Majima's pirate adventures in Hawaii.
An October Xbox Partner Showcase trailer showcased ship combat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and the return of Taiga Saejima, hinting at stronger ties to the main series.
Expect a longer experience than Like a Dragon: Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, with a story estimated at 15-18 hours. Dress Majima as Kiryu Kazuma by signing up for email notifications or a Sega rewards program.
