Stranger Than Heaven is the next game from RGG Studio, makers of the Yakuza / Like A Dragon series, and this time it's taking you through Japan's past across five different decades in five different cities to tell the story of Makoto Daito and the origins of the infamous Tojo Clan. It uses action combat, but nothing like it was in the Yakuza games, because it has a much more in-depth slower-paced fighting system that looks to be challenging. We got to play a brief demo at Summer Game Fest, and these are our thoughts right from the show itself. Stranger Than Heaven launches on January 15, 2027 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
