RGG Studios is finally ready to talk about Stranger Than Heaven, the next major action game from the Yakuza studio that appears to be a Yakuza prequel after all. In the 30-minute video, executive director Masayoshi Yokoyama introduces the sprawling brawler from the comfort of a swanky jazz club.
Beginning in 1915 and spanning 50 years, Stranger Than Heaven tells the story of Makoto Daito, a half-Japanese, half-American boy who leaves America to live in Japan. On the way there he meets Yu Shinjo, who becomes, as Yokoyama describes, Makoto's "oldest friend and biggest rival," as well as Orpheus, an international smuggler played (and faced) by Snoop Dogg.
It's a lot to take in, and honestly, it looks fantastic.
Stranger Than Heaven takes place in five cities across five decades: Kokura, Fukuoka in 1915, Kure, Hiroshima in 1929, Minami, Osaka in 1943, Atami, Shizuoka
