Here’s your first look at Amazon’s Like a Dragon: Yakuza
At SDCC 2024, Amazon revealed the first trailer for Like a Dragon: Yakuza, which starts streaming on Prime Video in October.


Amazon says that the show “showcases modern Japan and the dramatic stories of these intense characters, such as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, that games in the past have not been able to explore.” Kiryu will be played by Ryoma Takeuchi, while Kento Kaku also starts as Akira Nishikiyama. The series is directed by Masaharu Take.
Of course, Yakuza joins a wave of gaming adaptions for TV, which has included The Last of Us on HBO, Peacock’s Twisted Metal, and Amazon’s own live-action take on Fallout. Yakuza publisher Sega, meanwhile, has already seen success expanding Sonic the Hedgehog with movies and a spinoff series.
Like a Dragon: Yakuza starts streaming on Prime Video on October 24th with its first three episodes.
