RGG Studio Preps Summit Before Tokyo Show

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio confirms a live stream before the Tokyo Game Show with possible updates on Like A Dragon and Stranger Than Heaven.

RGG Studio Set to Reveal New Yakuza Entries at Summit Ahead of Tokyo Game Show

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will hold its annual Summit on September 24 at 20:00 PT / 04:00 BST, followed by a RGG Direct to detail announcements. The event comes ahead of the Tokyo Game Show, continuing a pattern from last year when Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza was announced in Hawaii and released the next year.

This year the studio is expected to showcase the next Like A Dragon entry and may reveal Stranger Than Heaven, a project unveiled as Project Century. Details about Stranger Than Heaven remain scarce, and it is unclear whether it is a full entry in the Like A Dragon line or a separate title set in 1915 Japan. In addition, RGG is reportedly working on the next game in the Virtua Fighter series, signaling a broader development push beyond its core saga.

RGG’s cadence shows a studio that believes in pre show momentum. Releasing information before major expos helps shape fan expectations and gives partners time to prepare. The ambiguity around Stranger Than Heaven could be a deliberate move to test interest in new directions within the Yakuza universe. At the same time, the Virtua Fighter project hints at cross franchise ties that could broaden the studio’s audience beyond traditional JRPG fans. Market reception will hinge on how clearly the studio communicates its long term plan amid a crowded release calendar.

Highlights

The next announcements will test how well RGG can balance revivals with new ideas.
