*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* might just be the most whimsical entry in the *Like a Dragon* series, but is it as expansive as *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*? If you're curious about the time it takes to complete *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* and the structure of its chapters, I've got you covered.
How Many Chapters Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* consists of five chapters, matching the chapter count of *Like a Dragon Gaiden* but featuring less than half the chapters found in *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*. Here's a breakdown of the chapters along with their intriguing titles:
- Chapter 1: Shipwrecked - You begin your journey as Goro Majima, a former Yakuza, who wakes up on Rich Island, Hawaii, with amnesia. Despite knowing about the Yakuza and the world at large, Majima's personal identity remains a mystery.
- Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness - This chapter takes you to Hawaii's main island, a setting familiar from *Infinite Wealth*.
- Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
- Chapter 4: Treasure Island
- Finale: White Whale
Notably, the iconic Tokyo district of Kamurocho, a staple in previous *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* games, is absent from *Pirate Yakuza*. However, the change in setting to Hawaii's vibrant landscapes offers a refreshing twist.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?
As with all entries in the *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* series, *Pirate Yakuza* includes numerous side-quests and optional activities. If you focus solely on the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16-20 hours to reach the end. Don't worry if you miss some activities; you can return to them after completing the main story.
For those aiming to experience every aspect of the game, including all side-quests and activities, the total playtime can extend to around 40 hours.
When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is set shortly after the events of *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth* and may lay the groundwork for a sequel. While playing *Infinite Wealth* is not a prerequisite, as *Pirate Yakuza* provides necessary background information, there's a caveat. If you plan to play *Infinite Wealth* in the future, consider doing so first, as *Pirate Yakuza* reveals a significant plot point from *Infinite Wealth* early on.
