"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - Chapter Guide and Completion Time"

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be the most whimsical installment in the Like a Dragon series, yet it's notably less expansive than Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. If you're curious about the time investment and structure of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, here's a comprehensive overview.

Here’s How Many Chapters There Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is structured into five chapters, mirroring the chapter count of Like a Dragon Gaiden but featuring significantly fewer chapters than Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Here are the chapters with their 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 kicks off in Chapter 1 with you embodying the former Yakuza, Goro Majima, who finds himself shipwrecked on Rich Island, Hawaii. This island, named after its original owner and not its wealth, sets the stage for a journey where Majima grapples with amnesia, aware of the world but not his own identity. Even when called by his name, it stirs no recognition. The unfolding story promises to reveal whether this changes.

While Kamurocho, the iconic Tokyo district from previous games, is absent from Pirate Yakuza, the main island of Hawaii, as seen in Infinite Wealth, makes an appearance starting in Chapter 2.

How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?

As with other games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, Pirate Yakuza offers a plethora of side-quests and optional activities. If you focus solely on the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16 to 20 hours to complete the game. Post-completion, you're free to explore any missed activities and quests without worry.

However, should you choose to delve into every nook and cranny, completing all activities and quests, you'll likely invest around 40 hours to fully experience everything the game offers.

When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza is set shortly after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and may even lay the groundwork for a potential sequel. You don't need prior knowledge of Infinite Wealth to enjoy Pirate Yakuza, as the game provides all necessary context.

However, if you plan to play Infinite Wealth in the future, consider tackling that game first. Pirate Yakuza reveals a significant plot point from Infinite Wealth within its opening hours, which could detract from your experience if you play them out of order.

So, there you have it—the chapter breakdown and duration needed to complete Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
