At Summer Game Fest 2025, the Ryu ga Gotoku Studio (RGG) game Project Century appeared, this time under the name Stranger Than Heaven. The trailer that confirmed the name also showed a portion set in 1943. The game still doesn’t have a release date or platforms yet, however.

Here is a 1915 trailer for the game that was just ed by Sega. That looked at footage and areas, and it included the new name and logo. This is familiar footage we saw back in December 2024.

This is the new trailer that shows cinematics and gameplay footage. A different protagonist is featured in this portion. He goes by the name Marco Daido, and we get to hear him speak to an obscured individual at the end. 

Here’s the Summer Game Fest 2025 full showcase:

As a reminder, the last time we heard about Project Century, it involved a different time period. That footage featured a period set in 1915. Around that same period of time, Snoop Dogg and RGG teased his possible involvement in this new title.

Stranger than Heaven is in development. It is unknown if this new game will have any type of ties to RGG's previous Yakuza or Judgment series.

At The Game Awards 2024, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio announced a new game currently referred to Project Century that looks like it could be another Yakuza spin-off. We got to see a new protagonist walk around a 1915 Japan, visiting some establishments and fighting some enemies. 

The video begins first by showing off the city. We get to see period-specific music, clothing, buildings, and vehicles around the area. Our hero wanders among them. At times, the exploration seems peaceful. However, we also see him get into some bloody fights.

Here is the first Project Century trailer. The protagonist’s face appears at the end. No platforms are revealed, and there’s also no release window.

Period piece Yakuza games aren’t uncommon, so it is possible that Project Century could be a new one of those games. For example, Like a Dragon: Ishin involved 1860s Japan, with Kazuma Kiryu and other familiar faces playing new roles as of the Shinsengumi. There was also Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan. That took place in 1605 and, once again, had the characters we know and love in new roles. 

However, it could also be an entirely new game that is a spin-off of the Yakuza series. This was the case with Kurohyo: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho. That PSP installment starred original protagonist Tatsuya Ukyo who gets involved with the Dragon Heat fight club, of sorts, after a run in with the Tojo Clan from the Like a Dragon series. It never appeared worldwide.

Project Century is in development.
