Stranger Than Heaven, the latest title from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, was unveiled at the Summer Game Fest after initially being teased at The Game Awards 2024. The game promises a blend of the fun, brutal combat familiar to fans of the Yakuza series with new elements, including puzzle-solving. Set across multiple eras, starting from 1915 to 1943, it hints at a deep narrative flavored by historical contexts and potential supernatural themes. As details on release dates and platforms remain under wraps, excitement builds for what’s next from the studio.
Though you may not vibe with every one of their games, it's hard to deny that the people behind the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series have an abundant sense of style.
Stranger Than Heaven's debut was on the Summer Game Fest event stage, and it was hard to guess just what game we were looking at initially.
Combat looks about as brutal (and silly) as the older Yakuza games, and the exploration and city life side does show up in the footage, too.
If the game's working title holds true, the game may let us experience a story that takes place across the entire 19th century.
