The holiday break is behind us, so let's dive back into some exciting gaming news! While we're all anticipating updates on the Nintendo Switch 2, today's focus is on a different fan favorite. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio recently unveiled a gameplay presentation for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, showcasing its Hawaiian pirate adventure and revealing key details.
The showcased footage highlighted extensive ship customization, open-world sea exploration, thrilling naval battles, engaging mini-games, and diverse explorable locations. Goro Majima will feature two distinct combat styles: a nimble, speed-focused approach and a more brutal style utilizing short swords and pirate weaponry.
Players can assemble a unique crew of allies, each contributing to battles, exploration, and treasure hunting. Gameplay will also involve uncovering hidden islands and embarking on original side quests.
A significant announcement at the presentation's conclusion: the highly anticipated "New Game+" mode will be a free post-launch addition via a patch. This is a welcome change from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, where this mode was initially exclusive to the pricier edition, drawing criticism towards SEGA. This is excellent news, and we only have to wait approximately six weeks until the official launch.
