We already knew that naval combat is going to be a big part of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, but this new gameplay trailer do a fantastic job of selling the Mad Dog's high seas shenanigans.

For those out of the loop, the latest Like a Dragon game stars an amnesiac Majima, who somehow ends up captaining a proper pirate ship, complete with crewmates, sails, and cannons.

This is where Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii swaggers into Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag territory, as you'll need to engage in full-on naval skirmishes with enemy vessels (which you can also board in person, if you prefer a more up-close-and-personal brawl).

The battles look absolutely mad, and you're free to fully customise your boat's looks and its weaponry. You'll also have to gather a capable crew, recruiting from over 100 side characters.

It's that typical Like a Dragon gameplay depth at work — it already looks like you could spend an ungodly number of hours levelling up your ship's many assets. Here's hoping that it isn't too much of a grind.
