With the recent success of Metaphor: Refantazio and Sonic x Shadow Generations, it’s safe to say Sega is having a pretty good year. While those may be the final big game releases from the publisher in 2024, Sega officially caps off its year of releases with a TV show based on the Yakuza game series. That’s a cause for celebration, and, more importantly, some discounts.
With the new TV show Like a Dragon: Yakuza premiering today on Prime Video, Amazon has dropped prices on most of the Yakuza games. The critically acclaimed turn-based RPG Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is at its lowest price yet.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the most recent addition to the Yakuza timeline, and $40 off brings the game down to its lowest ever price. In my experience, 60% off a same-year release of this quality is about as good as video game deals can get.
To clear up some confusion, the Yakuza series rebranded as "Like a Dragon" in English localizations back in 2022. If you’re an OG Yakuza fan, have no fear: The recent Like a Dragon games carry the spirit of the original PS2 series through and through.

Sprawling, enthralling, and packed with dynamic brawling, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth isn’t just the best turn-based Like a Dragon game, it’s one of the greatest games in the entire series."
