Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Demo Available Today

A free demo for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's spin-off, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, launches today! Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK.

The demo, announced via X/Twitter, offers a taste of the full game's freeroam and combat, but progress won't carry over. Players can explore parts of Honolulu and Madlantis (areas not accessible early in the main game), experiment with the Mad Dog and Sea Dog fighting styles, battle powerful enemies, tackle ship and deck battles in the Pirates' Coliseum, and even enjoy karaoke.

The full game, releasing February 21st on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (without a demo), follows amnesiac Goro Majima's pirate adventures in Hawaii. A trailer showcased ship combat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and the return of Taiga Saejima, hinting at stronger ties to the main series. Expect a playtime of 15-18 hours, significantly longer than Like a Dragon Gaiden. A Kiryu Kazuma costume is available via email signup or Sega rewards program.
