The new game of SEGA’s popular Yakuza series Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaiiwill be released in February 2025. Masayoshi Yokoyama, the director of the game, stated in his statement that the main story of the game will last approximately 27 hours.

Features of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
According to Yokoyama’s statements, the story time of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has naturally increased, although the developers did not consciously try to extend it. One of the main reasons for this is that the game offers a large map and many locations to visit. In addition, the price of the game is 10 dollars higher than the previous game Gaiden, indicating that it will offer a richer experience in terms of content.
The Hawaiian theme contributes to the visual atmosphere and story dynamics of the game. Players will embark on an adventure that combines both serious and extraordinary events in a vast open world map. The unique humor and dramatic story structure of the Yakuza series also come to the fore in this game.
Other games in the series are generally known for their long gameplay times. For example, Yakuza: Like a Dragon offered 67.5 hours of gameplay, while Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth attracted attention with a massive 83.5 hours. Although Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is shorter than these games, it will not lack content with its 27-hour duration.
