Man, you ever just watch a game trailer and think, “Wow, these folks behind Yakuza — er, Like a Dragon (still getting used to that name) — really know how to grab attention?” I mean, these games have more style than a sitcom character with an unlimited wardrobe budget. But here’s the kicker: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio doesn’t drop new franchises on us every other Wednesday, you know? So when they do, it’s like, “Hold up, what’s this magic?”
Anyway, we got a little peek at something called Project Century, right? But now it’s got a real name: Stranger Than Heaven. Sounds like a poem my high school goth self would have written, honestly.
Ah, the Summer Game Fest stage, where we first caught this nugget of gaming goodness. Picture it: There’s this character. A live music gig. It’s 1940s Japan—the jazz, the vibe! And bam, the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio logo appears. Goosebumps.
They’ve packed it with all the RGG trademarks—like, yes, please, give me more of that wild combat stuff. You know, the kind where you can laugh and wince at the same time? Plus, there’s the bustling city life that screams, “get lost in this world!” But plot twist: There’s a bit of puzzling and choice-making this time. When did they get all cerebral on us? But hey, I’m here for it.
So, check this out—this game hops through time like Doctor Who on speed. We’re talking multiple eras, peeps. First, it was 1915, now it’s 1943. Whoa, right? Feels like riding a historical roller coaster, minus the whiplash. I’m thinking, if they embrace this century-spanning story, we might just dive into some serious pre- and post-WW2 Japan drama. Maybe there’s American jazz mixing with samurai secrets? And did anyone else catch the spooky supernatural bits? ‘Cause I did, and I’m intrigued.
Release date or platform? Your guess is as good as mine. It’s all still a big juicy mystery. But this re-reveal… well, it’s got us all bouncing in our seats. Can’t wait to see how they unfold this gem next.
