# RGG Studio Unveils *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* – A Nautical Spin-Off Featuring Goro Majima
Enthusiasts of the *Like a Dragon* franchise (previously named *Yakuza*) have something thrilling on the horizon. RGG Studio has revealed a new spin-off called *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, which boldly ventures into uncharted territory for the cherished series. This time, the legendary Goro Majima takes center stage as a pirate captain, setting off on a grand escapade across the open waters and lush islands of Hawaii.
## Majima’s New Adventure: A Pirate Captain Struggling with Amnesia
In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, players will embody Goro Majima, the beloved “Mad Dog of Shimano.” However, this incarnation of Majima diverges from the one we’ve encountered in past installments. Following a shipwreck, Majima washes up on a deserted Pacific island with his memory erased. He cannot recall his history, identity, or even his name. What he does know is that he must unveil the mystery of his existence while searching for a mythical treasure that many others seek.
Majima won’t undertake this expedition alone. He is joined by a young boy named Noah, who rescues him post-shipwreck. Together, they embark on a nail-biting quest, navigating perilous waters, battling rival pirate factions, and unraveling the enigma of Majima’s forgotten past.
## A Treasure Hunt and Fight for Survival
As Majima seeks to rediscover his identity, he encounters a vibrant cast of perilous characters, including competing pirate crews, rogues, and treasure seekers. These opponents are also on the trail of the same fabled treasure, creating a thrilling race across the seas and islands of Hawaii.
The game blends oceanic and land-based action, enabling Majima to demonstrate his fighting skills in various environments. Whether engaging in sword duels on a pirate ship’s deck or brawling in the streets of a Hawaiian port, players can anticipate the signature, high-octane combat that defines the *Like a Dragon* series.
## Two Combat Styles: Mad Dog and Sea Dog
One of the standout features of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is the introduction of two unique combat styles for Majima: **Mad Dog** and **Sea Dog**.
– **Mad Dog Style**: This fast, aggressive fighting technique will be familiar to fans of Majima from earlier games. In this mode, Majima delivers swift, precise strikes, launching foes skyward with explosive combinations and continuing to hit them as they descend. It embodies a chaotic, unpredictable approach that mirrors Majima’s untamed spirit.
– **Sea Dog Style**: This new combat style allows Majima to embrace his pirate nature. Sea Dog style focuses on raw power and tactical fighting, permitting Majima to wield weapons like cutlasses, firearms, and even cannons. This style is tailored for sea confrontations and close combat aboard ships, providing players with a fresh perspective on Majima’s combat abilities.
## Ships, Skirmishes, and Treasure Hunts
Naval warfare is crucial in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Players will have the ability to enhance their vessels, recruit new crew members, and participate in real-time cannon skirmishes against enemy pirate ships. These naval battles are rapid and strategic, requiring players to manage their craft’s resources, positioning, and firepower to outsmart their adversaries.
Alongside ship combat, players can investigate secret islands, board enemy ships, and gather precious loot. Treasure hunting is a pivotal aspect of the game, with players on the lookout for ancient artifacts, gold, and other treasures that will aid Majima in reclaiming his memories and securing the legendary bounty.
## Assembling a Pirate Crew and Forming Alliances
While action and treasure seeking are at the heart of the gameplay, *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* also prioritizes relationships and crew dynamics. Majima can establish alliances with fellow pirates, traders, and island dwellers, gradually forming his own pirate team. Players will have the chance to recruit distinctive characters, each with unique abilities and skills, to join Majima’s crew.
These connections aren’t solely about combat. Similar to previous *Like a Dragon* titles, this spin-off will showcase rich character interactions, enabling players to develop relationships with their crew and other NPCs. Through side quests, mini-games, or dialogue choices, players can expect the same deep storytelling and character evolution that the series is celebrated for.
