A New Era of Year-Round Gaming
It wasn't long ago when the early months of the year were a barren land for new game releases. The norm was for publishers to rush their latest offerings in time for the holiday season. However, a shift has occurred with the realization that gamers are purchasing all year round. The year 2023 started strong with a series of impressive releases such as Hi-Fi Rush, Dead Space, and Resident Evil 4.
Upcoming Releases to Watch Out For
As we look ahead to winter 2024, fans of iconic Japanese franchises have a lot to look forward to. On the horizon are remakes of Persona 3 and FF7, and a brand-new Tekken. But the first big launch in the pipeline is the ninth mainline installment of Sega’s Like A Dragon series:
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
The highly-anticipated Infinite Wealth is set to release on January 26. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's head, Masayoshi Yokoyama, described it as the largest game in the series yet. The series is known for its optional content that can easily double the usual 20-30 hours of gameplay if you dive into minigames and sidequests. So, do you have 80 hours to play a new Yakuza game?
First Impressions of Infinite Wealth
After spending several hours exploring various aspects of Infinite Wealth, it's clear that this is a massive game. From exploring Waikiki, building an island paradise, to photographing semi-nude dudes, it's a mix of excitement and anticipation. It's hard to say if it's too much of a good thing, but it seems like a great way to spend the dreariest month of the year.
Pre-order Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
You can pre-order Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth from Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Gameplay
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is set a couple of years after the events of Like a Dragon. This time, our fluffy-haired hero Ichiban heads to the Aloha State in search of his long-lost mother. There, he meets up with longtime series protagonist Kiryu, shortly after the events of The Man Who Erased His Name.
The Concept of Infinite Wealth
How all of this relates to the concept of "infinite wealth" remains a mystery. But what is clear is how the sunny open spaces of Waikiki manage to breathe new life into the established Yakuza formula. The low-rise open spaces of Hawaii feel like a natural evolution of the more expansive urban environments we saw in 2020’s Like a Dragon.
Experience Hawaii in Infinite Wealth
As Ichiban, you can stroll into souvenir shops, cruise through hotel lobbies, and even wander onto the beach and into the water. You can even befriend many random NPCs in Infinite Wealth simply by saying hello.
Combat in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Of course, it wouldn't be Like a Dragon without some musclebound toughs ready to pick a fight with you at any given moment, and Infinite Wealth is no exception to this rule.
