by Greg Martin

SEGA and RGG Studio have released a new Stranger Than Heaven trailer, offering another look at the upcoming action-adventure game’s story ahead of its January 15, 2027 release.

Titled “Act 2: Kure Story Trailer,” the latest video focuses on protagonist Makoto Daito and his involvement with the yakuza in Kure, Japan, during 1929. The city is one of five locations featured in the game, which follows events across different periods spanning 1915 to 1965.

The trailer shows Daito receiving a ceremonial sake cup from Genzo Iwaki, marking an important moment in his journey through the criminal underworld. As he becomes more involved with the organization, Daito sets his sights on climbing its ranks.

His growing commitment to the yakuza is a central focus of the new footage, with the protagonist willing to do whatever is necessary to advance within the organization.

The Stranger Than Heaven Act 2 trailer follows the previously released “Act 1: Kokura Story Trailer,” which is available on the official SEGA West YouTube channel.

SEGA also confirmed that additional story trailers will be released in sequence, with each focusing on a different period of Daito’s life across the game’s five cities.
