Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Hits Lowest Price Yet as New Yakuza Show Premieres on Amazon
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.
$40 Off Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5 or Xbox Series X
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. Here’s what Tristan Ogilvie had to say in his 9/10 review of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth:
“Almost everything in Infinite Wealth seems worthwhile in more ways than one, and there’s a dizzying amount of enjoyable things to do. It seems like Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has put everything but the kitchen sink into Infinite Wealth, but for all I know there might be a giant sink boss possibly named Drain Johnson lurking in one of its dungeons, flanked by his offsiders Tap-tain America and Farrah Faucet. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised, especially since at one point I very much did come up against one unlikely boss in the form of an anthropomorphic cigarette…. 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.”
More Yakuza Games on Sale
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (2020) and the spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin! (2014) are also included in Amazon’s deals. If you want to check out some of the OG Yakuza series, you’re in luck. While not the same level of price slashing, the remastered collection of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 is 25% off. The collection was released for the PS4 back in 2020, but because of the PS5’s backward compatibility the games work on either console. Same goes for Yakuza Kiwami 2, a remake of the original Yakuza 2, which is also slightly discounted.
Preorders for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Are Still Full Price
The one Like a Dragon game that isn’t on sale is, as you could probably guess, the one that isn’t out yet. Preorders for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii are now live and still full price at $59.99. In better news, the next game is now set to release a week earlier than expected, on February 21, 2025.
