Author : Max Update : May 14,2025

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* might just be the most whimsical entry in the *Like a Dragon* series, but how does its size stack up against *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*? If you're curious about the time commitment and chapter breakdown, let's dive in.

How Many Chapters Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is structured into five chapters, matching the chapter count of *Like a Dragon Gaiden* but featuring fewer than half the chapters found in *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*. Here's a rundown of the chapters and their intriguing titles:

  • **Chapter 1: Shipwrecked** - You start as former Yakuza Goro Majima, who finds himself washed up on Rich Island in Hawaii, grappling with amnesia. While he retains knowledge of the Yakuza and the world around him, his personal identity remains a mystery.
  • **Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness** - This chapter takes you to Hawaii's main island, a setting familiar from *Infinite Wealth*.
  • **Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea**
  • **Chapter 4: Treasure Island**
  • **Finale: White Whale**

Unlike previous games, *Pirate Yakuza* does not include the Tokyo district of Kamurocho, but the vibrant setting of Hawaii compensates for this absence.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

The *Like a Dragon* series is known for its rich side content. If you focus solely on the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16 to 20 hours completing *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. After finishing the main story, you're free to explore any missed activities and quests at your leisure.

For those aiming to experience everything the game offers, including all side quests and activities, the total playtime could extend to around 40 hours.

When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is set shortly after the events of *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth* and might even lay the groundwork for a sequel. You don't need prior knowledge of *Infinite Wealth* to enjoy *Pirate Yakuza*, as the game provides necessary background information.

However, if you're planning to play *Infinite Wealth* at some point, consider doing so before *Pirate Yakuza*. The latter game reveals a significant plot point from *Infinite Wealth* early on, which could impact your experience if you play them out of order.
