The Yakuza/Like a Dragon series are known for their variety of wacky side content and minigames, but it seems like the upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is really going over the top in this respect. Sega has already revealed the game will have side activities inspired by Crazy Taxi and Pokemon, but that’s just the beginning. In a new trailer shown during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase, Sega revealed Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will have its own full-on Animal-Crossing-style mode.
Infinite Wealth will let players visit “Dondoko Island,” where, in true Animal Crossing fashion, you can forage, catch fish and bugs, design your house and the whole layout of the island, and interact with wacky locals. Of course, since this is a Like a Dragon game, you also have to occasionally defend your island from invading thugs. Check out the new Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth trailer, below.
