Stranger Than Heaven

The game in development by the Like a Dragon series developer previously known as Project Century will be called Stranger Than Heaven, a new trailer confirmed.

The game's new trailer, which was shown during this year's Summer Game Fest showcase and that can be watched below, provided a new look at the game's 1943 setting, which seems to suggest the game will cover two different time periods, as the game's reveal trailer was set in 1915, the main character and some of the gameplay features, which look like an evolution of the those seen in the Like a Dragon series. Sadly, a release window hasn't been provided, so it may be a while until we see more of this very promising project.
