Publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released new information and screenshots for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth introducing the game’s substories, personality stats, and bond level.
Get the details below.
■ Substories
Here’s a small glimpse into some of the substories you can experience with the people of Hawaii!
Close Encounters of the Bird Kind?
Kasuga encounters a girl who swears up and down that her beloved pet chicken has been taken away by a UFO.
Everyone she’s told, including the police, has brushed it off as her eyes playing tricks on her, but Kasuga sees her desperation and agrees to assist her in a UFO search.
As he explores a certain park rumored to be a hotspot for UFO sightings, he witnesses a cow floating up towards a mysterious light…
Home to Roost
Kasuga takes a nap on a Hawaiian beach.
But when he wakes, his head feels heavy.
He hurries over to a shop window to examine himself, only to find that a baby bird has taken up residence atop his head.
With the baby bird refusing to budge, Kasuga must embark on a frantic journey across Hawaii to reunite it with its mama.
■ Personality
Boost your personality stats and enjoy Hawaii to your heart’s content!
Personality is a status consisting of six character traits: Passion, Confidence, Charisma, Kindness, Intellect, and Style. These can be boosted through substories, minigames, and more.
Enhance Kasuga’s personality traits to improve his stats and abilities, gain new jobs, interact with more people, and unlock new events.
Enjoy the streets of Hawaii as you build up your personality!
■ Bond Level
Deepen your bonds with friends and tackle battles together!
A friend’s bond level represents how close they are with Kasuga or Kiryu. Unlock more jobs and abilities by reaching certain bond levels!
What’s more, your friend will use chain and combo attacks in battle, giving you an extra edge against foes.
Nurture your bonds by spending time together chatting at restaurants in Table Talk, sharing laughter as you walk the streets in Party Chat, or playing minigames like darts and karaoke.
There are also lots of other ways to deepen your bonds, like giving friends gifts when you see them in town, so try everything you can to grow closer!
Bond Content
During Walk & Talk events, you can chat with one of your friends and learn anything from their favorite foods to their unexpected hobbies.
Your Bond Bingo will keep a record of everything you learn from Walk & Talks. Complete any vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row to strengthen your bond considerably.
The deeper your bond, the more you’ll see a new side to your friends and hear all about their woes in a special story called a Drink Link.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on January 26, 2024 worldwide.
