Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will offer a free New Game Plus mode post-launch, a welcome change from the controversial approach taken with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
The previous game, while critically acclaimed and nominated for multiple Game Awards, faced backlash for locking its New Game Plus mode behind the purchase of its priciest editions. This decision was not reversed, but RGG Studio has learned from this experience.
During a recent Like a Dragon Direct, RGG Studio showcased gameplay footage highlighting naval combat and crew management. The announcement of a free post-launch New Game Plus mode for Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii concluded the presentation. While a specific release date for the mode wasn't given, the studio's decision to make it freely available is a positive step.
This move addresses common player concerns about paywalled game modes. While players will need to wait for the update, the extended playtime offered by Like a Dragon titles suggests the wait shouldn't significantly impact enjoyment. The game's release is still over a month away (February 21st), leaving ample opportunity for further announcements and reveals. Fans are encouraged to follow RGG Studio's social media channels for updates.
