Whereas previous Like A Dragon and Yakuza games have had relatively grounded combat, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has no such pretensions. Majima is now basically Dante from the Devil May Cry series, and can launch his opponents into the air, juggling them with flying punches, kicks, and flintlock pistol shots.

SEGA and RGG Studio ’s recent Like a Dragon Direct detailed the exciting gameplay features you should anticipate in the upcoming title, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The most notable being the arrival of a free new Game+ mode, widely considered a win for consumer-friendly gaming.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - the swashbuckling new instalment in Sega's long-running crime saga - is getting a New Game Plus as part of a free post-launch update. Sega shared the news during a 15-minute Like a Dragon Direct showcase focusing on the imminent Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii players won't need to purchase the most expensive version of the game to gain access to New Game Plus.
