Sega has debuted a story trailer for Stranger Than Heaven, the upcoming historical project from Ryu ga Gotoku Studio. The footage highlights the game's initial chapter, 'Kokura,' which follows the journey of Makoto Daito. Born to a Japanese mother and American father, Daito escapes systemic prejudice in 1915 San Francisco by stowing away on a merchant vessel called the Orpheus. The game tracks a half-century of Japanese history, encompassing settings like 1929 Kure, 1943 Minami, 1951 Atami, and a 1965 iteration of the studio's signature fictional district, Kamurocho. The project features an expansive cast including Yลซ Shirota, Snoop Dogg, and Moeka Hoshi. Sega confirmed that the likeness of the late Bunta Sugawara was integrated into the game as Genzo Iwaki, utilizing archival assets and formal authorization from his estate. Beyond the game's January 15 launch, the franchise is expanding into live-action media with a planned Netflix film.
