Stranger Than Heaven[/url]. The game clearly draws on the bareknuckle brawling of the Yakuza series, but this time is set in the jazzy Japan of 1943.</p>
<p>It's hard to get a full sense of the story from the trailer alone, but similar to RGG's previous games, it looks like
Stranger Than Heaven will feature an open-world full of enemies to whoop and narrative choices that'll be as determined by who you punch as who you help. If the player character Mako Taito isn't a private eye, he does appear to be investigating something.</p>

in 2024. Besides the gameplay similarities, it's not clear if
Stranger Than Heaven is set in the same world as RGG's other open-world action RPGs. At the very least, it does seem incredibly stylish, though.</p>

Stranger Than Heaven is still in-development and doesn't currently have a release date.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
