The new game, *Stranger Than Heaven*, stars Mako Daito and takes place in Sotenbori, a district inspired by the real-life Dotonbori area of Osaka, across various time periods. Unlike the *Like a Dragon* and *Judgment* series, the combat seems more realistic and brutal, featuring visible blood and gore. The game also aims for a more sophisticated atmosphere, though the full story is still under wraps.
As a huge fan, I was so hyped when the studio ended their RGG Direct with a quick peek at their new game! It looks like it’s going to be a massive adventure, taking us through different time periods and covering about ten years of Japanese history. I can’t wait to see what they’ve created!
On December 8th, RGG Studios will release updated versions of the first two Yakuza games. These re-releases will include everything from the remakes.
However, there’s a downside: people who already own the PS4 version won’t be able to upgrade to this new version, and unfortunately, you won’t be able to carry over your saved game data.
The game takes place in both the well-known district of Kamurocho and the island of Okinawa. Here, players find Kazuma Kiryu, the main character, relaxing and caring for the children at his Sunshine Orphanage – called Morning Glory Orphanage in the original Japanese version.
Both games are available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. They are updated versions of the original *Yakuza* games. *Yakuza Kiwami* tells the story of Kazuma Kiryu, a famous gangster known as the “Dragon of Dojima.” He’s just been released from prison when he gets caught up in a puzzling case involving 10 billion yen that has disappeared.
The game will be available in standard and Treasure Box editions, both launching on February 6, 2026.
This updated version of the popular 2015 action-adventure game, called the Director’s Cut, includes new scenes that provide more satisfying endings for some storylines and characters. It also adds a new online co-op mode called Red Light Raid, where up to four players can team up to fight enemies. Players can choose from a large roster of 60 characters, including different versions of Kazuma Kiryu and Majima Goro, as well as various villains and other personalities.
On September 23rd, a new update (version 1.3.0) was released for *Mario Kart World* and is currently being distributed to Nintendo Switch 2 consoles worldwide. This update includes several key improvements, with a major focus on enhancing the Free Roam mode. Players will now be able to see P Switches they’ve activated and Peach Medallions they’ve already found.
