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.
That… might look better than the actual Animal Crossing? I suspect there will be a few folks who just end up on Dondoko Island and ignore the rest of the game. Haven’t been keeping up with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth? Here are the game’s key features…
- Epic Emotional Drama – Two larger-than-life heroes brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister. Ichiban Kasuga, an unstoppable underdog who’s no stranger to crawling up from rock bottom, and Kazuma Kiryu, a broken man facing down his last days.
- Best-In-Class RPG Action – Experience one-of-a-kind combat with dynamic, fast-paced RPG battles where the battlefield becomes your weapon, and anything goes. Adapt your party’s skills to the situation with outlandish jobs and customizations to strategically subdue enemies with over-the-top moves.
- Infinite Adventure – Live it up in Japan and explore all that Hawaii has to offer in an adventure so big it spans the Pacific. Unforgettable moments await at every step of the journey with a unique mix of quests and activities to enjoy at your leisure.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launches on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 on January 26, 2024. What do you think? Ready for the former Yakuza franchise to embrace the cozy?
