Stranger Than Heaven Will Take Place Across Five Time Periods, Deep-Dive Presentation Arriving This May

Like a Dragon/Yakuza developer RGG Studio has released a new trailer for its upcoming game, Stranger Than Heaven, which reveals that its narrative will unfold across five different time periods. Plus, RGG has announced that a deep-dive presentation for the game is coming in May. 

Stranger Than Heaven was first announced under the working title Project Century at The Game Awards 2024, revealing a jazz-infused action game set across different historical periods. A year later, at The Game Awards 2025, RGG released a new trailer for the game, revealing the official “Stranger Than Heaven” name in the process. We still don’t know when to expect Stranger Than Heaven, but today’s new trailer, which aired during an Xbox Partner Preview showcase, reveals that its story spans different eras of history: 1915, 1929, 1943, 1951, and 1965.

Alongside this new trailer, Xbox and RGG have revealed they will hold an “Xbox Presents: A Special Look At Stranger Than Heaven” presentation on May 6, promising a deep-dive “into the setting, story, characters, and much more.”
