Amazon Prime to Premiere Like a Dragon Series

Amazon Prime is set to premiere the new series 'Like a Dragon: Yakuza' on October 24, showcasing an original story centered around the iconic character Kazuma Kiryu, portrayed by Ryoma Takeuchi. The series aims to explore dramatic narratives within the fictional entertainment district of Kamurochō, enhancing the backstory of characters that players of the video games may not have fully experienced. The first trailer, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, features both the action sequences and a glimpse into the lives of gangsters in modern Japan. Additionally, SEGA has launched starter packs for the Yakuza series on various platforms, making it easier for newcomers to engage with the franchise before the show airs. The bundles include significant entries like 'Yakuza Kiwami' and 'Like a Dragon,' aiming to attract new fans to the brand. With the show and these gaming bundles, SEGA hopes to expand its audience significantly.
