There's a Yakuza live-action drama in production

Sega announced during a Yakuza 6 livestream that there will be a Yakuza live-action drama, and it's in production now.

No other details about the live-action drama were released, although announcements and details about the drama will be made at Sega Fes 2016, which runs from November 19 to 20. This isn't the first time that the Yakuza series has gone beyond video games, as the series previously had another live-action drama called Yakuza: Black Panther.

Yakuza 6 will launch in Japan on December 8 for PS4. A Western release for Yakuza 6 has yet to be confirmed, but given that Yakuza 5 eventually got localised and Yakuza 0 is getting localised and is scheduled to release on January 24, we think that there is a high probability that it will.
