Many of you will have circled 21st February in your calendar, because that’s when Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sails to PS5 and PS4. But it’s looking like a big month for nautical adventure on Sony’s new-gen system, because roguelite strategy Rogue Waters has also placed a big red X on a 4th February release date.
For those not familiar with this game, here’s the overview from Tripwire: “Gather your ragtag crew of rogues and grow them into fierce pirates. Befriend and call upon legendary creatures of sailors’ myths. Chart your course through an ever-changing game world, and turn the tides of battle on land or sea in a fresh take on tactical turn-based combat. The crew and the Kraken await your command – will ye heed the call?”
No beating around the bush
Majima's big adventure
So, a very different type of pirate experience to the upcoming Like a Dragon, then – but that means both games should complement each other nicely. There’s a trailer embedded above which should give you a better taste for Rogue Waters’ gameplay loop, but is this looking like a sink or swim experience for you?

Whereas on PC every month is a big month for Pirates.
Boom Boom.
Somewhere right now someone is trying to decide if their zombie pirate waifu game should be a dating sim, water balloon battle or beach volleyball.
Push will host the cracked ISOs to celebrate, right?
Well I'm gonna play Trails through Daybreak 2 xP
This looks real cool
Looks like a money-grabbing mobile game to me.
