Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Release Date: January 26th, 2024

“Two larger-than-life heroes, Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu are brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister… Live it up in Japan and explore all that Hawaii has to offer in an RPG adventure so big it spans the Pacific.”

Players can now enjoy Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth (aka Yakuza 8) after its release on January 26th, 2024 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and Windows on Steam.

The game features dynamic, fast-paced RPG battles with an emphasis on freedom – anything goes! You can also enjoy your time by experiencing the new jobs, in-depth customization, and plenty of ways to make your characters form the strongest party possible. Set in Hawaii, this is the first time in the Yakuza series where the protagonists touch overseas soil. The Japan setting still remains with Yokohama’s Isezaki Ijincho.

Players can pre-order Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth now to get the Hero’s Booster and Special Job Bundle.
