This year’s RGG Summit was bereft of news for the studio’s non-Like a Dragon projects, including Virtua Fighter and Stranger Than Heaven. Nevertheless, it ended with a snazzy behind-the-scenes video for the latter, showcasing various scenes and motion capture work. Check it out below.
As a brand new IP, Stranger Than Heaven follows Mako Daito in Sotenbori (based on the real-world Dotonbori in Osaka) in multiple different time periods. Combat appears grittier and more grounded than the Like a Dragon and Judgment series, with realistic blood and gore. The atmosphere is also decidedly more refined, though details on the story remain to be revealed.
Stranger Than Heaven doesn’t have a release date, but Sega expects it and Persona 4 Revival to launch between April 1st, 2026, and March 31st, 2027. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
As for RGG Studio’s other projects, it announced Yakuza Kiwami 3, a remake of Yakuza 3, and Dark Ties, a spin-off starring antagonist Yoshitaka Mine for launch on February 12th, 2026. It’s also bringing Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in December.
