Ryu Ga Gotoku’s latest title, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, is right around the corner, and many wonder about the game’s length. Here’s how long it will take you to beat Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

The highly acclaimed Yakuza series is back with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth after the major success of the previous spin-off, Gaiden, released on all platforms and Xbox Game Pass. Now it’s time for one of the biggest titles of 2024, with Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu starring as the main protagonists.

Yakuza, or now the Like a Dragon series of games, is famous for having a good amount of gameplay that might take players a long time to beat, and many are wondering if the upcoming title will keep the trend alive.

Here’s how long it will take you to beat Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

How long will it take to beat Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

According to Inverse, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will take around 45 to 50 hours to complete its main campaign. The outlet also highlights that rushing through the story will meet players with some power barriers, and some side content is needed to upgrade Ichiban and his party.

With all things considered and done, counting side stories and completing mini-games, the “monster-class game,” as stated by RGG’s head Masayoshi Yokoyama, can take up to 100 to 110 hours for a completionist run.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is larger than every Yakuza game before it.

Yokoyama provided some more details about the game’s length in his statement: “This means that a lot of people are going to hesitate to play the game or will end up having it wait on their shelves. I found the possibility of that kind of outcome sad, so I thought, we have to get everyone hyped up enough to play it.”

It is clear now that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is an enormous entry, which makes sense when we think about the number of new elements and locations that have been added to the title.

With an entirely new city in Hawaii to explore, alongside the Animal Crossing-inspired Dondoko Island added to the game, it surely takes a while to explore everything Infinite Wealth has to offer.
