How Many Chapters Are in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

- Chapter 1: Shipwrecked - You begin as former Yakuza Goro Majima, who washes up on Rich Island in Hawaii, suffering from amnesia. Although aware of the Yakuza and the world around him, Majima's own identity remains a mystery, even when addressed by name.
- Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness - This chapter allows you to explore Hawaii's main island, a location also featured in *Infinite Wealth*.
- Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
- Chapter 4: Treasure Island
- Finale: White Whale
Note that *Pirate Yakuza* does not include the familiar Tokyo district of Kamurocho, which has been a staple in previous games. However, the vibrant setting of Hawaii compensates for its absence.
How Long Does It Take to Beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza?

When Does Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Take Place? Should You Play Infinite Wealth First?
