We'll soon know much more about Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's upcoming Yakuza-like epic, Stranger Than Heaven. On Wednesday, Xbox is hosting a deep dive with developers and cast on the upcoming action-adventure game.

The roughly half-hour event will add "details and insights on the game's story, world, characters, and more." We already know that Stranger Than Heaven will cover five cities across five eras: 1915, 1929, 1943, 1951, and 1965. The '60s time period appears to take place in Kamurocho, the fictional Tokyo district from the Yakuza franchise. Leia também: star fox nintendo

In fact, fans are speculating that the upcoming title could serve as a Yakuza prequel of sorts, showing the rise of the franchise's clans. So far, RGG has been mum on whether the new game is connected to its long-running series.

Stranger Than Heaven (known as "Project Century" earlier in its development cycle) doesn't yet have a release date. Despite the showcase being an Xbox Partner Preview, the game will also be available on PS5 and Steam. Leia também: spurs Mais de entretenimento
