showed Majima washed up on the beach of Rich Island, near Hawaii, looking worse for wear and helped by a child with a **** tiger. Majima introduced the clip himself as a story taking place six months prior, asking how the heck he ended up on a beach.

It looks to directly feed off the story of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, with Majima dealing with repercussions caused by Ichiban Kasuga's involvement with the cult of Palekana on Nele Island. The trailer also showed Majima becoming a pirate captain himself.

Gameplay released showed Majima fighting on the main Hawaii map from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth alongside on ships and other new areas. Majima can ****** in either the **** Dog Style or the Sea Dog Style, and players can jump for the first time in the Yakuza series.

Yakuza fans have been awaiting this game's reveal for what feels like a long time. Even though the last mainline game, the colossal Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, arrived as the last mainline entry in January, RGG Studio has become known for its rapid releases.
