Modder ‘R0NALDMCDONLD’ has released two mods that bring the Hawaii and Kamurocho maps to Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. As such, players will be able to fully explore these maps.
Now, what’s really cool is that all the shops, restaurants, and bars in the Kamurocho area are up and running smoothly. And guess what? The place is bustling with NPCs, making the city feel alive. Remember, most of the past Yakuza games happened right here in Kamurocho. So, being able to explore it is pretty awesome.
As for the Hawaii map, that’s the area in which the next Like a Dragon game will take place. I don’t want to spoil much, but that’s where Kiryu travels at the end of the game. Okay okay, this isn’t really a spoiler as the trailer for Infinite Wealth shows Kiryu in Hawaii. My guess is that this map is from the Infinite Wealth demo that is included in this game.
Before wrapping up, I must say I was a bit let down by the story in this latest Like a Dragon/Yakuza game. Just so you know, I’m a huge fan of the Yakuza series. But The Man Who Erased His Name felt kind of average. Sure, there’s a really emotional scene at the end, but the overall story was a bit meh. It didn’t have the same excitement as the earlier Yakuza games. Plus, the side stories were kind of boring. The previous Yakuza games had some awesome side stories, but here, nothing really surprised me.
Anyway, you can download the Hawaii and Kamurocho map expansion mods from here and here. Once installed, you’ll be able to freely travel to these maps at any time.
Have fun!
