If you want to know exactly how much time you'll need to invest in the game to complete the storyline, earn every last achievement/trophy, or you want to know how many chapters there are, we've got it all covered for you right here.

How Long Does It Take To Complete The Storyline?

Based on our own playthroughs, you're looking at eight to ten hours to complete the main storyline.

Naturally, you can complete this sooner if you skip through cutscenes and are very strict about not getting sidetracked by optional content, or you may find it takes you longer depending on whether you have chosen a harder difficulty level.

How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent?

For those looking to 100 percent the game and unlock every achievement and trophy, there are quite a few minigames you'll need to get stuck in with, as well as lots of side content to complete. You'll likely be looking at 30-35 hours to fully 100 percent the game.

This may differ depending on the difficulty level you choose for the game, whether you use guides to find all the collectibles, and how long you spend playing side content for fun rather than to unlock specific accolades.

How Many Chapters Are There?

There are five chapters in total for Like a Dragon Gaiden, making it less than half the length of a normal Yakuza/Like a Dragon mainline game. The chapters are as follows:

  • Chapter One: Hidden Dragon
  • Chapter Two: Castle on the Water
  • Chapter Three: The Man Who Knew Too Much
  • Chapter Four: The Laughing Man
  • Final Chapter: The Man Who Erased His Name
