A New Adventure in the Hawaiian Isles
“Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” is set to redefine the open-world gaming experience, expanding its horizon to the Hawaiian Islands. The game unfolds in the vibrant city of Honolulu, the bustling capital of Hawaii, offering a playground thrice the size of Isezaki Ijincho from “Yakuza: Like a Dragon.” This significant expansion of the game’s universe is poised to provide an unparalleled adventure for Ichiban, the series’ beloved protagonist.
Honolulu: A Vast Playground for Players
The creators of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” have crafted Honolulu City as a vast and diverse terrain. Their official Twitter account revealed, “Honolulu City is said to be more than three times the size of Isezaki Ijincho,” promising an expansive area for exploration and adventure. The game’s Hawaiian setting encompasses various unique locations, such as the scenic Aloha beach, bustling Waikiki Town, and the intriguing Anaconda Shopping Center, each offering distinct experiences from leisure to action-packed encounters.
A Rich Tapestry of Activities and Challenges
Honolulu’s diverse locales cater to a wide range of activities. Players can immerse themselves in the relaxation of Aloha beach or indulge in the shopping and entertainment options of Waikiki Town. However, not all areas are welcoming; District 5, known for its illegal occupation, stands as a testament to the darker side of Hawaii, housing the local mafia and presenting a unique challenge for players.
