The game will be released on February 28, 2025 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3061810/Like_a_Dragon_Pirate_Yakuza_in_Hawaii/">Steam</a>.

Players can pre-order various editions of the game across all platforms starting today. 

These are the Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition and Collector’s Edition. 

The game’s standard Standard Edition will be available in both digital and physical formats whereas the Digital Deluxe Edition will include DLC character customization packs.

For the $130 Collector’s Edition, it comes with the base game, a Deluxe Edition DLC code, and exclusive physical items such as a replica of Goro Majima’s iconic eye patch and a treasure coin pin.

Players who pre-order will receive two bonuses. This includes the ‘Ichiban Pirate Crew Set’ DLC which adds popular <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/yakuza-like-a-dragon/">Like a Dragon</a> character Ichiban Kasuga and his pet crawfish, Nancy, to Majima’s pirate crew. 

Additionally, they will also receive the ‘Ichiban Special Outfit Set’ DLC, which allows Majima to wear two of Ichiban Kasuga’s signature outfits.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza is the latest title from RGG’s renowned franchise. 

It follows the story of Majima as he travels across the vast ocean in search of his missing memories. Accompanied by a boy named Noah, they’re caught up in a conflict between criminals, modern-day pirates and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure. 

The gameplay will return to the series’ traditional third-person brawler combat. Unlike Ichiban Kasuga’s turn-based adventures in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth/">Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth</a>, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza will feature real-time battles. 

This refined battle system allows Majima to dynamically switch between two fighting styles. Players can pick between a pirate-centric moveset such as swashbuckling and dual wielding with the ‘Sea Dog’ style or utilize speed and agility with the infamous ‘Mad Dog’ style.

Here's an exclusive look into indie game development, their next projects, and team's journey from classroom to indie success.

'Minds Beneath Us', An interview with Bear Bone Studio

A battle royale among cats? You heard that right.

Last September 18, iCandy Interactive launched <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/snaky-cat/">Snaky Cat</a> for Android and iOS devices.

Developed by Appxplore, an iCandy subsidiary, Snaky Cat is a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/best/multiplayer/">multiplayer</a> game. It takes the classic snake game formula with a dose of feline frenzy.

Players take control of serpentine cats battling it out in a candy-coated arena. The objective is simple: devour as many donuts as possible. This would help players grow their feline friend into the ultimate, leaderboard-topping longcat.

But this not just a simple sugar rush. The game incorporates battle royale elements. This meant that players can expect a cutthroat competition.

<img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/snakycatscreenshot.jpg" alt="Snaky Cat screenshot">

Navigating the arena requires skillful maneuvering to avoid colliding with other players. However, those who can outsmart their opponents are rewarded with delicious treats. And these are the remnants of their vanquished feline foes. Ultimately, ranking up in the list.

Meanwhile, the game allows players to customize their cats.

"Be it wacky, silly, funky or pretty, there are more than 50 cats to collect and choose from! Don’t forget to dress them up with stylish accessories too!" developers said.

However, iCandy disclosed that Snaky Cat's Early Access launch is currently limited to selected regions. This included Canada, Argentina, Australia, Malaysia, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.

"Early access slots are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis," they added.

But for those outside the Early Access regions can join Snaky Cat by pre-registering on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appxplore.snakycat&hl=en">Google Play Store</a> or the Apple <a href="https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/snaky-cat/id6497651162?l=en-US">App Store</a>.

This pre-registration not only grants access to the game upon its full release. But also unlocks a purr-fectly special reward: a Legendary Cat. Players can also receive exclusive cosmetics for Appxplore's other award-winning casual games, Crab War and Claw Stars.

As of September 18, the Australia-based developer and publisher said over 500,000 players have pre-registered for Snaky Cat.

Released back in October 2014, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/freedom-wars/">Freedom Wars</a> takes place in a dystopian future where humanity is confined to a massive prison-slash-city called Panopticons.

They must fight for their freedom by engaging in dangerous combat operations and competing with other Panopticons for the planet's remaining resources. 

The remastered version promises enhanced 4K resolution, upgraded textures, 60fps gameplay, and improved weapon crafting, along with added difficulty settings. Additionally, it features an expanded English and Japanese voice acting, namely with its cast of Android characters. 

Players can expect the return of its dynamic three-dimensional combat. It now comes with a variety of quality of life improvements that make its third-person combat a bit modernized. Gameplay is often compared to the likes of CAPCOM’s Monster Hunter franchise and even Bandai Namco’s very own God Eater series.

But in My Time at Evershine, it takes a bold step forward, transforming players into Governors. As the city's leader, they will start with a basic camp. But their vision and leadership will shape the entire settlement and its citizens. This will allow players to focus on shaping the city's future while delegating routine tasks to recruited NPCs.

My Time at Evershine is in early development. In addition, more features will be unveiled when the Kickstarter campaign launches this September 24th. Pathea is also seeking community feedback to refine key elements of the game's design and execution.

My Time at Evershine is slated for release on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and future Nintendo platforms.
