The highly anticipated live-action series 'Like a Dragon: Yakuza' is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 24, with the first three episodes available at launch.

A trailer for the series has been released, showcasing its connection to the beloved Yakuza video game franchise.

The series will explore the complex relationships and events surrounding protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, particularly his confrontation with Nishiki in 2005.

To enhance the viewing experience, fans are encouraged to play 'Yakuza 0' for crucial context regarding character backstories and dynamics.

In addition to the series, Sega has announced a new game titled 'Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza,' set in Hawaii and featuring Goro Majima as the main character.

This new game promises to maintain the franchise's quirky themes while introducing players to a pirate-themed adventure.

Gameplay trailers have highlighted the game's features, including action combat reminiscent of earlier titles in the series.

Players can expect to engage in various side activities, such as karaoke and a new mini-game called Dragon Kart, which resembles Mario Kart.

The storyline of the game spans two timelines: one in 1995, focusing on a heist at a Dojima-controlled arcade, and another in 2005, where Kiryu navigates life after prison.

Preorders for the game are available, offering unique in-game items related to the new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga.

With both the series and the new game on the horizon, excitement is building among fans eager to see how these adaptations will honor the legacy of the Yakuza franchise.
