SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the publisher and developer behind the beloved Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, are getting ready to show off another new look at their upcoming title, Stranger Than Heaven. After last being shown off during a Partner Preview showcase, this is once again an event being helmed by Xbox, only this time with a showcase dedicated entirely to the game.
If you missed earlier announcements, Stranger Than Heaven is a new original IP from the studio, not attached to the Like a Dragon series but, at least from early glimpses, closely aligned in its overall concept and style. It’ll follow protagonist Mako Daito through no less than five different time periods – 1915, 1929, 1943, 1951 and 1965 – and five different cities including Sotenbori, which happens to be the same fictional version of Dotenbori, Osaka, that exists in the Like a Dragon games. So there’s that.
Here’s the previous look we got at the game, setting us up for this upcoming preview:
While this new look at the game is being presented by Xbox, we’d expect all of the information and key trailers to be disseminated throughout other channels (including right here!), if you’re not keen to watch the event as it happens.
