If you've ever tried to piece together the history and chronology of Sega's Yakuza games, you likely still have a headache.

Since 2005's original Yakuza, the franchise has released its ninth mainline entry, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, in January 2024.

The franchise also includes multiple spinoff games, Japanese-only releases, and remakes of older games.

Notably, the series switched its English-language name from Yakuza to Like a Dragon over the last five years.

Amazon Prime's show aims to capture the essence of the game series while offering a fresh take for both new and existing fans.
