Sega began streaming a new English-dubbed trailer on Thursday for Ryu ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (Ryū ga Gotoku 8 Gaiden: Pirates in Hawaii) game, and it reveals the English cast. Matt Mercer reprises his role as Majima. The rest of the dub cast is new, including James Kirkland, who replaces Ron Yuan as Saejima.
The English cast includes:
- Matt Mercer as Goro Majima
- Samoa Joe as Raymond Law
- Maya Tuttle as Noah Rich
- Jeremy Brandt as Jason Rich
- Brent Mukai as Masaru Fujita
- James Kirkland as Taiga Saejima
- Debra Wilson as Queen Michele
Sega will release the game worldwide for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam on February 21, one week earlier than its originally planned release date February 28.
The game features Goro Majima as the protagonist, and takes place half a year after Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The story centers on Goro after he arrives at a beach after losing his memory, and how he comes to lead a band of pirates.
The game has three main locations: Hawaii, Rich Island, and Madlantis. Players can command a ship and sail to various islands.
Those who pre-order the standard, deluxe, or collector’s edition of the game will get the Ichiban Kasuga Pirate Crew & Special Outfit, which will add Ichiban and his pet crawfish Nancy to the player’s pirate crew, as well as two of Ichiban’s outfits.
The deluxe edition includes a “Legendary Pirate Crew Pack,” a ship customization pack, an outfit pack, and an extra karaoke and CD pack. The collector’s edition includes the same extras as the Deluxe Edition but also adds an acrylic standee, an eye patch, a treasure coin pin, and a pirate flag.
The Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Ryū ga Gotoku 8) adventure role-playing game launched on January 26 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Windows and Steam. The game is a direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Sega announced the game in September 2022 as the eighth and newest mainline entry in the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise.
