Gamers eagerly anticipating the release of "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth", which is the next installment in the Yakuza series, can look forward to an expanded job system that adds a quirky selection of roles such as Samurai, Surfer, and Housekeeper. The job system, reminiscent of classic RPGs like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, allows for a diverse range of combat styles and character customization.
The game introduces new jobs like the Aquanaut, or Surfer, who harnesses water-based attacks, and the Geodancer, who employs hula dancing to cast elemental techniques. Players can also opt for traditional Samurai skills with swords and bows or tidy up their enemies with the domestic prowess of the Housekeeper job. Additional roles include the Desperado, the Kunoichi and many character-specific jobs like Kiryu's Dragon of Dojima and Ichiban's Hero.
"Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth" sets itself apart by being the longest entry in the Yakuza series and relocates the setting from Japan to Hawaii, offering fresh scenery and dual protagonists. The game's release is planned for January 26, and it's said to be so extensive that the head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio advised pacing oneself during gameplay to avoid exhaustion.
Fans of the series and newcomers alike can anticipate an intriguing blend of action, storytelling, and the series' signature offbeat humor that will take them on a thrilling journey through this expansive and detailed game world.
