The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into the exciting world of gaming announcements! While we eagerly anticipate news on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's spotlight shines on a fan-favorite: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled new gameplay footage, showcasing the Hawaiian pirate adventure.
The presentation highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will boast two distinct fighting styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more powerful style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to combat prowess, exploration efficiency, and treasure hunting success. Gameplay promises the discovery of hidden islands and engaging original side quests.
A significant announcement concluded the presentation: "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This marks a departure from the previous title, Infinite Wealth, where this mode was exclusive to the premium edition, a decision that drew criticism from SEGA. This positive change means we only have to wait approximately six weeks for the game's official launch.
