Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is out next week, and a demo is available for everyone to play right now!

In a surprise announcement from Sony’s State of Play, it is great to see we have a demo to ‘try before we buy.’ While players cannot take over progression into the full game, this still looks like a chunky vertical slice of what Pirate Yakuza has to offer. In the demo, you get to freely explore a portion of Honolulu and Madlantis, test your fighting mettle in a series of Bounty fights with Majima's Sea Dog & Mad Dog fighting styles, try out the real-time ship and deck battles in the Pirate’s Coliseum, and take part in some of the activities Yakuza is so famous for, like karaoke.
