While Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be the most whimsical installment in the series, many players wonder how its scope compares to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. If you're curious about the game's length and chapter structure, here's everything you need to know.
Chapter Breakdown for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
The game features five narrative chapters - matching the count of Like a Dragon Gaiden while being significantly shorter than Infinite Wealth's extensive storyline.
These are the game's chapters with their official titles:
Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness
Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
Chapter 4: Treasure Island
Finale: White Whale
The adventure begins with protagonist Goro Majima washing ashore on Hawaii's "Rich Island" - ironically named after its original owner rather than any actual wealth. Suffering from amnesia, Majima retains knowledge of the yakuza world but has completely forgotten his own identity, creating an intriguing narrative thread that develops throughout the story.
Notably absent is Kamurocho, the iconic Tokyo district featured in previous series entries. While veteran players might initially miss the familiar location, the Hawaiian setting - including areas featured in Infinite Wealth - offers fresh exploration opportunities starting from Chapter 2.
Game Completion Time Estimates
A straightforward main story playthrough typically takes 16-20 hours, while completionists aiming to experience all side content should allocate around 40 hours. The game conveniently remains open for post-story content cleanup after the credits roll.
Chronology and Play Order Considerations
Set shortly after Infinite Wealth's events, Pirate Yakuza stands independently while potentially laying groundwork for future series developments. While prior knowledge of Infinite Wealth isn't required, new players should note the game reveals major Infinite Wealth plot points early in its narrative.
