Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has released update 1.14 for fans to download, which fixes a number of progression blocking bugs and other issues in the JRPG. Infinite Wealth launched on January 26 to critical acclaim, with a heavy amount of praise being given to the amount of activities available in the game. These activities include the Pokemon parody mode Sujimon, the Animal Crossing-esque island builder Dondoko Island, and everything else to find in Infinite Wealth‘s vast open world. With so much programming needed to maintain these activities, there are naturally some bugs that have slipped into the final release.
While the bugs found in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth vary depending on the gameplay, there are some that end up blocking a player’s progression if the conditions are just right. Some of Infinite Wealth‘s bugs affect the different areas found in the game, such as Julie’s Gearworks and Dondoko Island. The latest update released by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, 1.14, addresses these issues.
