Developer Freebird Games and publisher Serenity Forge recently announced that the emotional 2011 indie game To the Moon will be coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on October 8, priced at $10. [1] Along with this announcement, they released a new short episode in the series titled Just a To the Moon Series Beach Episode, which offers one of the series’ endings. This new installment is now available on Steam.

Figure 1. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is set to release on February 28. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio continues to churn out Like A Dragon (also known as Yakuza) titles, with this latest entry arriving just 13 months after Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. The game features a quirky premise hinted at in its title.Figure 1 shows Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is set a year after the events of Infinite Wealth and Ichiban Kasuga's adventures in that game. Players will gather a crew, upgrade their ship, engage in battles with enemy vessels, and uncover hidden islands. Majima will have two fighting styles that can be switched on the fly: the Mad Dog option, which allows for "speed, agility, and flair" to outmaneuver enemies, and the Sea Dog style for dual-wielding short swords and "pirate tools," as noted in a press release. Overall, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii already seems far more enjoyable than the 45 minutes I spent playing Skull and Bones.

Although February 28 isn't too far off, there are plenty of Like A Dragon activities to keep you busy in the meantime. [2] The live-action TV show Like A Dragon: Yakuza will premiere on Prime Video on October 24. Additionally, the franchise will launch on Nintendo Switch that same day with a port of Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of the original game.
