Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - Chapter Breakdown and Playtime

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii delivers the series' signature quirky charm, but how does its scale compare to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth? Curious about completion time and chapter structure? Here's the full scoop.

Total Chapters in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii features five chapters, matching the count of Like a Dragon Gaiden but significantly fewer than Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Below is the list of chapters with their titles.

The story kicks off in Chapter 1 with Goro Majima, a former Yakuza, stranded on Rich Island in Hawaii—named after its founder, not its riches. Amnesia clouds his past; he knows the Yakuza world but not his own identity. Even hearing his name sparks no recognition. Will his memory return? Play to uncover the truth.

Unlike past titles, Kamurocho, the iconic Tokyo district, doesn’t appear in Pirate Yakuza. As Goro Majima, you won’t wander its streets, but the absence feels negligible given its evolution across the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. Instead, Chapter 2 takes you to Hawaii’s main island, familiar from Infinite Wealth.

Completion Time for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza

Like other Yakuza/Like a Dragon games, Pirate Yakuza offers side quests and optional activities. Sticking to the main story, you’ll wrap up in 16-20 hours. Post-game, you can revisit missed quests and activities without fear of being locked out.

For completionists diving into every quest and activity in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza, expect around 40 hours to experience the full scope of the game.

Timeline and Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza unfolds shortly after Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and may hint at a sequel. You don’t need to play Infinite Wealth first, as the game provides enough context to follow along.
