More Yakuza Remakes on the Horizon?
RGG Studio hinted at potential remakes in a December 8th, 2024, announcement video, echoing the successful 10th-anniversary remake initiative that brought us Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami. While details remain scarce, the anticipation for further announcements leading up to the 20th anniversary is high.
Set Sail with Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
The 20th-anniversary celebration kicks off with the release of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on February 20th, 2025. The game's PC requirements, revealed on February 10th, 2025, are surprisingly modest, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (or equivalent) recommended, ensuring broad accessibility. Steam Deck verification is also confirmed. A recent story trailer, narrated by the game's villain, Pirate King Raymond Law (voiced by Samoa Joe), further fuels the excitement.
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates on the 20th-anniversary celebrations and the highly anticipated new title.
