Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth “Takes ‘Never-Ending’ to a Whole New Level”, Says Studio Director
26.12.2023 - 05:25 / gamingbolt.com / Masayoshi Yokoyama / Xbox Series
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s titles tend to be quite long, not counting Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the team’s next mainline title, is no exception, with Honolulu City over three times bigger than Yokohama from Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama famously said it’s the longest game in the series, but what makes it so? Speaking to Automaton-Media, he said, “First of all, the main story is long. It features two main protagonists and numerous other characters, so the amount of side stories related to each of them is considerable.”
Activities like Dondoko Island and Bucket List are also “packed with side content and substantial enough to be independent games depending on how you play them. But, on the other hand, both ‘Dondoko Island’ and ‘Bucket List’ are optional.
“After all, side stories in Like a Dragon titles have always been optional. You can progress through only the main story if you want to, and you can play the side stories to feel the volume too. This has remained unchanged with Infinite Wealth. Besides, if you attempt to clear everything, it may never end.”
Though Yakuza: Like a Dragon also takes some time to complete, Yokoyama noted that Infinite Wealth is “of much greater volume.” “Just from the debugging process, I can tell that Infinite Wealth takes ‘never-ending’ to a whole new level.”
Even if players focus on the main story, he estimates it would take “about 3-4 days without sleep” with “no detours, and almost no side stories.” Yokoyama thus advises fans to play it “bit by bit, without losing any sleep.”
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launches on January 26th, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC. It’s not coming to Game Pass, and there are currently no plans for the same. Head here for more details on the title.

You don’t need to play Yakuza: Like a Dragon before Infinite Wealth, but you should
If Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is going to be your entry point into the Like a Dragon series (formerly known as Yakuza), first of all, welcome. You’ll probably have a good time. However, I implore you to consider playing its predecessor, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, before moving on to the newer release. While you could certainly still enjoy Infinite Wealth without playing Like a Dragon, it lays the groundwork to get the most out of the latest entry in one of gaming’s most entertaining franchises, introducing you to delightful characters and a bizarre world where you’ll be asked to save people stranded without toilet paper in public restrooms and fight a tiger with your bare hands. And it’s also on Game Pass, which never hurts.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Fans Think Seonhee Might Be Bisexual
Yakuza and the Like a Dragon series has, for the most part, always been incredibly welcoming and inclusive, featuring loads of side quests with positive views on a range of sexualities and backgrounds. Longtime series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is considered a staunch ally, always keen to lift up the marginalized and downtrodden, but we've yet to get any LGBTQ+ representation of note when it comes to protagonists.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Wouldn’t be Turn-Based if Yakuza 7 Hadn’t Been Successful, Producer Says
The Yakuza series took a big swing with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, not only with a completely new protagonist, setting, and cast of characters, but also thanks to its reinvention as a Persona-style turn-based RPG. But as big of a swing it was, it also turned out to be a successful one, with the game being met with widespread critical acclaim, which has also been reflected in its commercial performance, having sold over 1.8 million units so far.

Hands-on: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is huge, but doesn’t lose its heart
In 2020, the Yakuza series took a bit of a leap with its seventh entry, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The lens shifted away from longtime series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu to newcomer Kasuga Ichiban, swapping out its real-time action for turn-based RPG combat in the process. It was, by most accounts, a rousing success. But there was still room to grow.
