Title: “Stranger Than Heaven’s Summer Game Fest Reveal Stands Out with Yakuza Dev’s Signature Style”

Y’know, sometimes you just gotta give it up for those folks behind the Yakuza or Like a Dragon series. I mean, their style? It’s off the charts. Not that we get a shiny new game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio every year, but when we do—like, wow—it’s something.

Okay, so get this: It started as Project Century at The Game Awards 2024. But now, we’ve got a real name for it—Stranger Than Heaven. The reveal went down during the Summer Game Fest. Honestly, at first? Had no clue what was happening. The trailer kicks off with a dude chilling at a live gig in what seems like Japan from the 1940s. Then he strolls out, and bam! The Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio logo hits you. Recognition time, right?

Of course, it’s packed with all the RGG goodies you’d expect. Combat looks like it’s keeping that crazy Yakuza vibe—brutal yet oddly comical. And yeah, we get to peek at the whole city life scene too. But hey, they’re throwing in more puzzles and decision-making this time around. Not the usual dish for Like a Dragon, you know? Oh, oh, and the time jumps. Just a teaser trailer, and we leap from 1915 to 1943. That’s, like, a huge leap!

There’s this speculative whisper that the game might be a trip across the entire 19th century. But let’s be real, just seeing Japan around World War 2 is intriguing enough. Loads happening in there, like the whole American influence thing and some supernatural buzz around the main character.

No word yet on a release date or which consoles will be lucky enough to host it. But with this fresh re-reveal? Fans are practically on the edge of their seat, waiting for RGG to drop more info.
