Game Overview:
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.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a role-playing video game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. The game is the ninth mainline entry of the Like a Dragon series, and a direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon (2020) and the spin-off title Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (2023).

Infinite Wealth stars Ichiban Kasuga, protagonist of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Kazuma Kiryu, the original protagonist of the series, and takes place in the franchise's first-ever overseas locale, Hawaii, in addition to familiar settings in Japan. Together with old and new allies, Kasuga and Kiryu team up to help the former find and reunite with his mother in Hawaii, while the latter struggles to survive with cancer.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2024. It received positive reviews from critics.

In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, players control Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, and their respective party members, as they explore the Isezaki Ijincho district of Yokohama, and Honolulu City in Hawaii. The Kamurochō district, a primary location from previous Like a Dragon titles, is also featured as a third location. Similar to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the game employs a turn-based combat system for all playable characters.

The combat system, now nicknamed the "Live Command RPG" Battle System, received a major improvement compared to its previous entry. Every playable character now possesses a ring denoting their area of movement, and are now able to move freely during combat. The positioning of characters now heavily determines the flow of combat. For example, moving closer to an object, having another party member within the ring of another playable character, or positioning close or behind an enemy allows party members to do various attacks that deal extra damage; said attacks can also affect the enemy depending on their current position, such as knockback to walls or objects, or even knocking other enemies in combat. Character Skills are now shown its area of effect, range, and direction, with proper positioning of characters will allow the skill to affect more enemies or party members. Hype Meter is a new resource for all party members, except Kasuga, that allows them to unleash special team-up attacks with Kasuga in combat. Kasuga himself can perform a Ultimate Tag Team skill that spends all the available party members' Hype Meters for massive damage. The game also features a Smackdown mode, allowing players to skip fighting against weaker enemies in exchange for reduced rewards. The Poundmates summon system also makes a return, with some summons now acting as a supporting party member during fights, which allows them to directly jump in combat and perform various actions without the player's input. Some Poundmates feature characters returning from previous entries.

Similar to the previous entry, each character can choose from a multitude of "jobs", which act as classes that grant them distinctive perks and play styles. Some jobs are returning from the previous entry, such as Breaker, Idol, or Chef, while new jobs including Aquanaut, Samurai, Pyrodancer, and Housekeeper. Kiryu's default job, "Dragon of Dojima", provides him with the ability to switch between multiple fighting styles, each having different properties and abilities. Using his Hype Meter allows him to temporarily perform real-time combat, similar to the brawler gameplay from previous Like a Dragon titles.

Several minigames from previous entries return, such as Karaoke, Darts, Mahjong, and arcade games, including Virtua Fighter 3tb, Sega Bass Fishing, and SpikeOut. In addition, new minigames are introduced in Infinite Wealth, such as Crazy Delivery, a food delivery game inspired by Sega's Crazy Taxi franchise; Sujimon Battle, a Pokémon parody game; and Miss Match, a dating app for Kasuga. A major side activity, Dondoko Island, tasks Kasuga with managing his own resort island, combining objectives such as resource gathering, crafting, and social interactions.[8] Kiryu also has his own side activities, including the Bucket List, which focuses on Kiryu reminiscing his past, completing unfinished businesses, and reuniting with his old friends and allies from previous Like a Dragon titles.
