Like A Dragon dev’s Stranger Than Heaven is LA Noire, but make it Yakuza
- Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio revealed a new noir thriller game called Stranger Than Heaven at the 2024 Game Awards and again at Summer Game Fest 2025.
- The project, originally codenamed Project Century, evolved from a teaser set in 1915 Japan to a story spanning 1943 with hints of dual timelines.
- Stranger Than Heaven features a detective named Mako Daito navigating a gritty, neon-lit city with survival elements like hunger meters and moral choices.
- The developer confirmed the game aims for a 2026 launch but gave no platform details, though past releases and confidence suggest a PC version is likely.
- This ambitious new IP may continue RGG's strong track record, potentially blending classic noir with their signature melodrama and expanding their narrative scope.
