Game Spotlights
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Released February 2025, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a standalone spinoff starring Goro Majima — one of the most beloved characters in the franchise. The game features an over-the-top pirate adventure across the Hawaiian islands and open seas, with a dedicated naval combat system unlike anything else in the RGG catalog.
- ▶Protagonist: Goro Majima
- ▶Setting: Hawaii + open ocean exploration
- ▶Key features: Naval combat, sea battles, Majima's signature combat styles
- ▶Tone: Absolutely absurd in the best possible way
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
The sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth (2024) is widely considered the best entry in the modern Like a Dragon era. Ichiban Kasuga returns to Hawaii alongside Kiryu Kazuma — a crossover that functions as a culmination of both protagonists' stories. Metacritic score: 93.
- ▶Protagonists: Ichiban Kasuga + Kiryu Kazuma
- ▶Setting: Hawaii (and briefly Japan)
- ▶Genre: Turn-based RPG
- ▶Metacritic: 93
- ▶Recommended if: You want the best the series has to offer right now
Yakuza 0: The Place of Oath Director's Cut
Set in 1980s Japan during the economic bubble, Yakuza 0 remains the consensus best entry point for newcomers to the franchise. It follows the young Kiryu and Majima and requires zero prior knowledge of the series. Packed with an absurd density of side content — karaoke, bowling, mahjong, cabaret club management, and more.
- ▶Protagonists: Young Kiryu and Majima
- ▶Setting: 1988 Tokyo and Osaka
- ▶Recommended for: Series newcomers, first purchase

GamePeak Verdict
The RGG Studio Sale is a genuine opportunity. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 75% off is a deal on one of the best JRPGs of 2024. Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii at the same discount is a steal for a game that released just over a year ago. And Yakuza 0 at a discount is the easiest recommendation in gaming — if you haven't played it, that needs to change. Sale ends June 18. Don't sleep on it.
