*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* might just be the most whimsical entry in the *Like a Dragon* series, but how does it compare in size to *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?* If you're curious about the length of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* and its chapter breakdown, I've got you covered.
How Many Chapters Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* features a total of five chapters, matching the chapter count of *Like a Dragon Gaiden* but significantly less than the extensive *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth*. Here's a rundown of the chapters and 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 journey kicks off in Chapter 1 with you, playing as the former Yakuza Goro Majima, washing up on Rich Island, a Hawaiian locale named after its original owner rather than its wealth. You start with amnesia, aware of the Yakuza and the world around you, but your own identity remains a mystery—even when addressed by your name, it rings no bells. Will you regain your memory? That's something you'll discover as you play.
Unlike previous entries, *Pirate Yakuza* does not include the familiar Tokyo district of Kamurocho, but the absence is barely felt, especially for those who've followed its evolution across the *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* series. Instead, you'll explore Hawaii's main island, a setting introduced in *Infinite Wealth*, starting from Chapter 2.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?
Like all games in the *Yakuza/Like a Dragon* series, *Pirate Yakuza* offers a plethora of side quests and optional activities. If you stick to the main storyline, you can expect to spend between 16 to 20 hours to reach the end. Don't worry about missing out on content; you can always return to tackle any activities or quests you might have skipped.
However, if you're aiming for 100% completion, diving into every activity and completing all quests, you're looking at around 40 hours of gameplay.
When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza* unfolds shortly after the events of *Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth* and could potentially set the stage for a sequel to *Infinite Wealth*. You don't need to play *Infinite Wealth* first, as *Pirate Yakuza* provides enough context to get you up to speed.
However, a word of caution: if you plan on playing *Infinite Wealth* at some point, you might want to do so before diving into *Pirate Yakuza*. The reason? *Pirate Yakuza* reveals a major plot point from *Infinite Wealth* within the first few hours of gameplay.
So, there you have it—the complete breakdown of chapters in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* and an overview of the time it takes to conquer this adventurous tale.
