Last year, amidst widespread acclaim, one of the few things that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth sparked some backlash for was its decision to lock New Game Plus mode behind its costlier Deluxe and Ultimate Editions. Thankfully, Sega seems to have learned its lesson and won’t repeat the error with the next Like a Dragon release. 

During a recently premiered gameplay deep dive, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio confirmed that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will add a New Game Plus mode as free post-launch DLC. There’s no word yet on exactly how long players will have to wait after the game’s release. However, it’s certainly encouraging to see Sega responding to the criticism surrounding Infinite Wealth’s New Game Plus mode. 

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is due out for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 21. Check out some recent naval combat gameplay here.
