TheLike a Dragon(formerlyYakuza) franchise is known for delivering massive games with copious amounts of content, though as a smaller-scale spinoff, the upcomingLike a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaiiis obviously not going to be quite as expansive as, say,Infinite Wealthwas. According to developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, however, you can still expect a substantially longer experience than the previous spinoff, 2023sLike a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.Speaking in an interview with Automaton Media, RGG Studios director Masayoshi Yokoyama revealed thatPirate Yakuza in Hawaiiis going to be about 30 percent longer thanLike a Dragon Gaiden, echoing similar previous statements. According to Yokoyama, the development team didnt necessarily set out to make a bigger game thanGaiden, with the runtime instead being a byproduct of the story and its demands. Its more like the volume ended up increasing due to the story, he said.The map is huge, theres a bunch of places to visit, and there are still features we havent announced yet. The volume increased by itself, Yokoyama added, before stating that the longer runtime will be reflective of the games price, which is $10 higher thanLike a Dragon Gaidenslaunch price.As per How Long To Beat,Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Namesmain story is about 12-13 hours long, though the game can be closer to 20 hours with a good number of side quests added in, soPirate Yakuza in Hawaiishould presumably be a 15-25 hour-long game, based on what Yokoyama says.Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaiiis due out on February 21 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
