We’ve been noting with increasing alarm the leviathan developer RGG Studios appears to have on its hands with the upcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, out 21st February on PS5. In October, the developer suggested that the game would be quite a bit longer than the recent Kiryu spinoff, The Man Who Erased His Name, and that’s not including the expectedly ridiculous minigames.

In an interview with Automaton (thanks, GamesRadar+), RGG Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama says the team didn’t intend to make the Majima-centric game bigger than Kiryu’s but that the total volume of the game’s content means that it is, and so here we are: “The map is huge, there’s a bunch of places to visit, and there are still features we haven’t announced yet. The volume increased by itself.” Appropriately, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will retail for around $10 (or your local equivalent) more than The Man Who Erased His Name, which, if nothing else, shows that RGG is feeling confident about Goro’s prospects.
