Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's New Game Plus Mode to be Free Post-Launch
Following fan backlash over the exclusive New Game Plus mode in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG Studio) has announced a different approach for its upcoming title, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The New Game Plus mode for Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be available as a free post-launch update.
Infinite Wealth, while critically acclaimed and nominated for two Game Awards, faced criticism for restricting New Game Plus access to its priciest editions. RGG Studio didn't reverse this decision, but the Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii announcement suggests a change of heart.
During a recent Like a Dragon Direct, RGG Studio showcased gameplay features, including naval combat and crew management. The presentation concluded by confirming that New Game Plus will be a free addition via a future patch, although a specific release date wasn't provided.
This decision contrasts with the common practice of including gameplay features as exclusive content in deluxe editions. While some players may be disappointed by the post-launch release, the extended playtime of Like a Dragon games suggests New Game Plus will arrive before many complete their initial playthroughs.
With the game's release slated for February 21st, RGG Studio is expected to unveil further details in the coming weeks. Fans are encouraged to follow the studio's social media channels for updates.
