Author : Allison Update : Mar 21,2025

While *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* might be the silliest entry in the *Like a Dragon* series, its brevity shouldn't be underestimated. Wondering about its length and chapter breakdown? Look no further.

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

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii features five chapters—the same as Like a Dragon: Gaiden but significantly fewer than Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Here's the chapter list:

  • Chapter 1: Shipwrecked
  • Chapter 2: Heart of Darkness
  • Chapter 3: The Old Man and the Sea
  • Chapter 4: Treasure Island
  • Finale: White Whale

Chapter 1 throws you, as the former Yakuza Goro Majima, onto the shores of Rich Island in Hawaii, your memory mysteriously lost. While you retain awareness of the Yakuza and the world, your own identity remains a puzzle. This amnesia sets the stage for the adventure ahead.

Interestingly, Kamurocho (a staple location in previous games) is absent from Pirate Yakuza. However, you will revisit Hawaii's main island, a location also featured in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, in Chapter 2.

How Long Does it Take to Beat *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza*?

The playtime varies significantly depending on your playstyle. A focused playthrough concentrating solely on the main story should take approximately 16-20 hours. However, if you're aiming for 100% completion, including all side quests and optional activities, expect to invest around 40 hours. Don't worry about missing content; any unfinished activities remain accessible after completing the main story.
