Following the reveal of Venture Century throughout The Recreation Awards 2024Sega and Like A Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio confirmed as much as Summer time Recreation Fest 2025 with a brand new trailer, a brand new period, and a brand new identify: Stranger Than Heaven. The place the preliminary trailer seemed like early-Twentieth century Judgmentthe place a detective wandered round a rain-soaked, 1914’s Japanese metropolis, Stranger Than Heaven’s newest trailer is extra like RGG Studio’s tackle The black.
A detective named Mako Daito moodily searches for clues to an unknown thriller in a glitzy metropolis full of individuals misplaced of their pursuit of extra, glamorous nightclubs, rowdy road fights, seedy tenements, and neon-soaked excessive streets. It seems to be like RGG Studio is digging extra into survival and simulation components than standard as properly. In a single transient shot, Mako holds a cigarette as an on-screen tooltip pops up that reads “Attracts immense hostility when smoking.” He has starvation and thirst meters, a primary for the studio, and makes split-second choices about what to do in fraught conditions, like whether or not to indicate a harmful opponent mercy.
The trailer ends as Mako meets up with an American who’s shocked to search out that Mako is Japanese and ends with a dramatic declaration from the detective about how he’s overlooked himself. The motion and setting could be uncommon for RGG Studio, however the Yakuza-like melodrama stays the identical.
Given the Venture Century codename and the truth that the brand new trailer jumped ahead in time by three many years, it looks as if a protected guess to imagine the story unfolds throughout, properly, the century. RGG had little else to say about Stranger Than Heaven and beforehand really useful that nobody even strive to determine what the sport is about.
Stranger Than Heaven is deliberate for launch in 2026.
