While we wait for season two of HBO’s The Last Of Us and Amazon’s Fallout TV series, we can also look forward to season one of Amazon’s newest video game to TV adaptation, SEGA’s own Like A Dragon: Yakuza.
Just as much if not more so than even The Last Of Us, if ever there was a game franchise that looked to be perfect for a TV show adaptation, the Yakuza series was it.
That’s finally happening as on October 24, 2024 the first season Like A Dragon: Yakuza is set to premiere, and we finally have our first official look at the series with its first teaser trailer.
You can check out the new trailer for yourself, below.
As much the Yakuza series of games is kind of the perfect choice for a TV series adaptation, there still exists a lot of questions around how you’d execute that adaptation.
Part of the charm of the franchise has always been its more wacky and goofy side contrasted by the very serious storytelling. Hitting that same tone will be a difficulty tightrope to walk in a TV show more than it is in a game.
Whatever the case it’ll be interesting to see what SEGA and Amazon put together when the new series arrives this Fall.
