And here’s a glimpse at act two

I noticed on social media today that RGG Studio estimates the primary narrative of Stranger Than Heaven might take anywhere from 50 to 100 hours for completion. Given that it can allocate entire trailers to each of the game’s acts, I find that believable.
Having discussed Act 1: Kokura last month, the developer returns with a summary of Act 2: Kure. Check it out above.
During this segment of the game, the storyline is placed in 1929, in Kure of the Hiroshima Prefecture. Here, the protagonist Makoto Daito aligns with the Iwaki family in an effort to ascend through the ranks. “As he gains the title of ‘Red Oni’, we also witness Daito grappling with his life in the yakuza and confronting the decisions he has made,” the YouTube description hints.
Stranger Than Heaven consists of five acts, so anticipate three additional trailers following this one, set in 1943, 1951, and 1965.
We have experienced the forthcoming PS5 title several times now, and have consistently come away impressed… except with its new combat mechanism. Editor Sammy Barker didn’t perish quite as often in the latest version, but remarked:
“One significant concern I have with the game is when you’re wielding a one-handed weapon, like a knife. This seems to tilt all of your combat possibilities toward one hand, so while you can still throw jabs with your other arm, it’s clearly a much weaker option in this context.”
Stranger Than Heaven is the first major PS5 launch of next year, arriving on 15th January 2027. Will you be there on launch day? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
