SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio released a new trailer for the upcoming Like a Dragon: Yakuza Prime Video series. The three-minute long trailer gives a sneak peek into the story of Kazuma Kiryu, who is portrayed by actor Ryoma Takeuchi.
Check out the new Like a Dragon: Yakuza official trailer on YouTube:
The Like a Dragon: Yakuza Prime Video series will span six episodes and release in two waves, with the first on October 24 and the second on November 1. The story centers around Kazuma Kiryu and takes place in both 1995 and 2005 in Kamurocho, just like the original game. After serving a sentence of 10 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Kiryu gets involved in a massive mystery with 10 billion yen missing from the Tojo Clan.
Yakuza Kiwami is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 24, marking the franchise’s debut on the platform. It will likely pave the way for more Yakuza titles to come to the platform, thanks to its low $19.99 price and launch alongside the Like a Dragon: Yakuza Prime Video series.
During RGG Summit, RGG Studio revealed Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, a new Like a Dragon: Gaiden-style spin-off starring Goro Majima. The game will launch on February 28, 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Earlier this year, the eighth mainline installment, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, released with Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu as protagonists. In Final Weapon’s 5/5 review, we stated the game “is a grand, momentous adventure that sees players control both of the series protagonists in a story that ultimately shapes the future of Like a Dragon.”
