The game will be followed by a spin-off titled Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii with Goro Majima in the lead playable role, which takes place six months after the events of Infinite Wealth.

[4] 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.

[6] 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.

[7] Several minigames from previous entries return, such as Karaoke, Darts, Mahjong, and arcade games, including Virtua Fighter 3tb, Sega Bass Fishing, and SpikeOut.

[10] Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth takes place in 2023, and follows former Tojo Clan yakuza members Ichiban Kasuga (Kazuhiro Nakaya/Kaiji Tang) and Kazuma Kiryu (Takaya Kuroda/Yong Yea) as they embark on a new adventure in Isezaki Ijincho, Yokohama and Honolulu, Hawaii.

Following a tip from a former ally, Kasuga travels to Honolulu in search of his biological mother, Akane Kishida (Yoshiko Sakakibara/Patti Yasutake), who he thought had died many years ago.

Meanwhile, Kiryu is also present in Honolulu in search of Akane per the Daidoji faction's orders, and teams up with Kasuga to find and protect her from various local criminal organizations.

[3][2] Infinite Wealth features a multitude of returning characters from previous Like a Dragon games, the majority of whom appear as part of Kiryu's "Bucket List" side story.

Ebina informs them that he is working with Jo Sawashiro, who has been released from prison after being proven innocent, with the former's help, in the murder of the previous Seiryu Clan Chairman Ryuhei Hoshino.

Kasuga has run-ins with taxi driver Eric Tomizawa, who attempts to rob him, and later with Akane's maid and exchange student Chitose Fujinomiya, who strips him naked and steals his passport.

Nanba and Adachi, having arrived in Hawaii, join Kasuga and the group to confront Yamai, who was providing medical care to Kiryu, out of respect as a fellow former Tojo Clan member.

Returning to Kasuga's apartment in Ijincho, Nanba is joined by Geomijul and Yokohama Liumang leader Seonhee, and later Saeko, all of whom help Kiryu recover and manage his condition.

Chitose then confesses that she is Tatara, having been blackmailed by Eiji to spread online accusations against ex-yakuza across the country and serve as a spy on Kasuga's party.

Former Liumang leader Tianyou Zhao allies with Kiryu's party as they confront Sawashiro, who reveals that he has been secretly working behind Ebina's back to actually carry out the Second Great Dissolution, honoring Arakawa's legacy.

Harboring resentment for the yakuza, he joined the non-profit anti-crime organization Bleach Japan prior to its fall following Ryo Aoki's death.

Sawashiro sends Kiryu to Tojo Clan leaders Daigo Dojima, Taiga Saejima, and Goro Majima to expedite the Second Great Dissolution.

With Lani and Akane safe in Japan, Kasuga and Kiryu regroup in Ijincho, where Ebina contacts them, saying that the rehabilitation program has been approved by the government, then reveals that he has Sawashiro hostage at the Millennium Tower in Kamurocho, Tokyo.

Tomizawa decides to devote more time to helping the homeless in Hawaii, Chitose becomes the chairwoman of her family business, and Lani chooses to embrace her role as Sage to rebuild Palekana with Akane's assistance.

[18] In September 2023, RGG Studio hosted a second Summit livestream, detailing the story and characters, as well as gameplay features of Infinite Wealth via two new trailers.

[citation needed] In October 2023, RGG Studios unveiled Happy Resort Dondoko Island, a side activity featured in Infinite Wealth, as part of Xbox Partner Preview livestream.

[9] In December 2023, the studio released a trailer for the Bucket List story, noting it as a major side activity for Kiryu in Infinite Wealth.

[27] Writing for IGN, Tristan Ogilvie praised the improvements to the combat system, remarking that it "delivers a riotous level of chaos and carnage that makes its predecessor’s more modest turn-taking seem almost polite by comparison.
