Sega and RGG Studio have released Stranger Than Heaven’s second story trailer, “Act 2: Kure,” according to Gematsu. The chapter takes protagonist Makoto Daito to Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1929, where he joins the Iwaki family and sets about rising through its ranks, Push Square reports. SourceSource
The trailer description, reproduced by Gematsu, says:
“In Kure, Daito swears his loyalty to Iwaki Genzo, and steels himself to commit any atrocities to climb the yakuza ranks.” Source
That puts a fairly horrifying spin on “promotion opportunities.”
Push Square quotes the YouTube description as saying Daito becomes known as the “Red Oni” while wrestling with his life in the yakuza and confronting his choices. “Red Oni” is quite a nickname to take into a bout of soul-searching. Source
Kure follows the previously released “Act 1: Kokura” trailer. Push Square reports that Stranger Than Heaven comprises five acts, while Gematsu describes the action-adventure as a 50-year saga. SourceSource
Stranger Than Heaven is scheduled to launch on January 15, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store, according to Gematsu. It’s also coming to Game Pass, though Gematsu doesn’t specify tiers or when it will join the service. Source
