The fact that the industry is moving in this direction shows us that the gaming industry is now at least as advanced as the movie industry. As such, many companies are trying to adapt their popular brands into TV series or movies. In this way, both the popularity in the gaming industry is increasing and the brand is also moving into the movie industry. One of the brands that wanted to keep up with this situation was Sega. The company brought Sonic, one of its big brands, to the movie industry. Now they are trying to bring Yakuza, one of their own popular series.

Sega has announced that the Yakuza series will be released as a series. According to this announcement, the series will air on Prime Video. The release date of the series will be October 24th.
