The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into the exciting world of gaming news! While we eagerly anticipate news on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a fan-favorite franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its captivating pirate-themed adventure set in Hawaii.
The showcased gameplay highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and a diverse range of explorable locations. A key feature is Goro Majima's dual combat styles: a swift, agile approach and a powerful style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunts. The game promises a wealth of hidden islands and original side quests to uncover.
A significant announcement concluded the presentation: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This decision marks a positive shift from the previous Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth release, where this mode was exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism from SEGA. This is excellent news for players, with the official release date only a month and a half away.
