STRANGER THAN HEAVEN Introduces the People Crossing Makoto Daito's Fifty-Year Saga — original editorial gaming news illustration

SEGA and RGG Studio have released a substantial new character update for STRANGER THAN HEAVEN, the studio's ambitious action-adventure spanning roughly fifty years of Japanese history. Central protagonist Makoto Daito, portrayed by Yu Shirota, is half Japanese and half American and travels to Japan after facing persecution in the United States. During the voyage he meets Yu Shinjo, portrayed by Dean Fujioka, a half-Japanese, half-British man similarly seeking a new beginning. Their relationship forms part of a much larger ensemble RGG is now beginning to detail. The historical scope makes STRANGER THAN HEAVEN particularly fascinating. RGG Studio is best known for Like a Dragon's dense modern urban worlds, but this project gives the developer an opportunity to show locations and characters changing across generations rather than merely across sequels. Its multicultural protagonists also position migration, identity and belonging near the centre of the narrative rather than treating historical Japan as a static backdrop. Today's character reveal does not provide the gratification of a new release date, but it makes the shape of the project considerably clearer. RGG has spent years making players care deeply about men who become emotionally vulnerable after punching forty gangsters. Apparently the next challenge is doing that across half a century.
