Sega and RGG shared a new Stranger than Heaven story trailer that focuses on the second act and part of the story set in Kure. This segment of the storyline takes place in 1929. It also shows how protagonist Makoto Daito starts to get involved with more criminal enterprises. This also leads to him becoming known as the “Red Oni.”
This part of the segment starts with Daito in Kure, where he’s attempting to get close to the “Emperor of Kure” Genzo Iwaki. The footage starts with him being surrounded by the individual’s guards. He’s then given the chance to meet him and becomes a yakuza. His role then is to watch the gambling halls in the city and collect debts from folks who owe the clan. We see a bit of his progress, as well as combat for this segment of the story.
Here’s the full Stranger than Heaven Act 2: Kure story trailer.
Some of the more recent Stranger than Heaven trailers have focused on story, rather than gameplay. For example, the Act 1: Kokura video showed up on October 2026 and focused on more of the early adventure. Before that, we tended to see reveals dealing with things like combat and characters. The gamescom 2026 one focused on gameplay, and we saw more cast teasers in previous ones shown at events like SGF 2026.
Stranger than Heaven will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 15, 2027.
