SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have revealed a 6 episode live action TV series based on the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise will air on Amazon Prime in October 2024.
The series will be co-directed by both Take Masaharu and Takimoto Kengo. Kiryu Kazama will be played by Takeuchi Ryoma of Kamen Rider fame. The series will premiere in 2 batches of 3 episodes. The first will go live on October 24th, while the 2nd will premiere on November 1st. In addition to subtitles, the show will also be dubbed into 30 different languages.
Like a Dragon: Yakuza appears to be adapting the first game in the series as Variety have reported the events of the series take place between 1995 and 2005, which lines up with Kiryu’s 10 year prison sentence that he serves when he is framed for the murder of his boss Sohei Dojima.
A new trailer for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has dropped that reveals an additional life-sim mode called DonDoko Island. On this fully customisable space away from the main game, you can create and manage your own island resort very much like an Animal Crossing game.

Previously revealed back in September 2022, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is an interquel set between Yakuza 6 & 8 and is said to be game with a much smaller scope than previous entries in the Like a Dragon franchise.

Both Judgment games have finally made their way to PC and can be bought together with The Kaito Files DLC as The Judgment Collection on Steam.
Judgment and Lost Judgment take place in the Yakuza universe and put you in control of a new protagonist called Takayuki Yagami who is a lawyer-turn-detective investigating a case involving a series of murders where the victims eyes are removed. While the combat is very similar to the Yakuza series, there is a heavier focus on investigation.
Judgment is currently priced at £34.99, Lost Judgment is priced at £49.99 and The Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment is priced at £24.99. The entire collection can be purchased for a discounted total of £83.57.
