FULL STORY
======================================================================Like a 
Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will have a free New Game Plus mode It's 
coming via a post-release patch, but no date on that just yet Infinite Wealth 
offered New Game Plus as paid DLC 

Oh, thank goodness; Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will feature a New 
Game Plus option, and this time, you won't have to pay for it. 

This was confirmed in the Like a Dragon Direct presentation uploaded to 
Sega's official YouTube channel. Towards the end of the 13-minute showcase, 
it's confirmed that New Game Plus will be available for free in the upcoming 
game. However, it'll be added to the game "as a post-release patch." 

Currently, there's no word on when we can expect said patch to drop, but we 
imagine it won't be terribly long after launch. Of course, this isn't too 
much of a big deal, as players will need to clear the game once first in 
order to access New Game Plus in the first place. 

In case you're wondering why this is a relatively big deal, it's all down to 
how Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have handled New Game Plus in the past. 
Rather controversially, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth offered New Game Plus 
as paid downloadable content (DLC). It was included in the game's more 
expensive editions, but this understandably left folks with the standard 
version feeling hard done by. 

New Game Plus has been a staple feature of the Yakuza / Like a Dragon 
franchise since its inception, often being called Premium New Game or in the 
form of a Premium Adventure mode that lets you freely roam the environment to 
tick off remaining side stories, goals and the like. You're always able to 
carry over progress like stats, weapons, skills, and items into a fresh save, 
offering a good bit of replay value. You might also like... Assassin's Creed
