Amazon announced on Tuesday that it is producing a six-episode live-action series based on Sega’s Like a Dragon (Ryū ga Gotoku) action game series titled Like a Dragon ~Beyond the Game~ (Ryū ga Gotoku ~Beyond the Game~).
Takashi Miike directed a 2007 live-action film adaptation of the franchise titled Yakuza: Like a Dragon, also based loosely on the plot of the first game in the series.
The series is partially based on the first game in the series, which was initially titled Yakuza in the West (the series transitioned to the title Like a Dragon, closer to its Japanese title, with the seventh game Yakuza: Like a Dragon in 2020).
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Ryū ga Gotoku 8), the latest game in the series, launched on January 26 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Windows and Steam.
