Stranger Than Heaven has a new “Act 2: Kure Story Trailer,” showing protagonist Makoto Daito’s life in 1929 as he commits himself to the yakuza. Sega and RGG Studio released the video ahead of the action-adventure game’s January 15, 2027 launch.
Kure is one of five cities and eras featured in the full game, which spans 1915 to 1965. This latest trailer focuses on Daito’s place within his organization and his ambition to rise through its ranks.
A Ceremonial Sake Cup Marks Daito’s Commitment
In the trailer, Daito receives a ceremonial sake cup from Genzo Iwaki. The exchange accompanies his growing involvement with the organization, with Daito prepared to do whatever he believes its interests require.
His pursuit of status drives this portion of the story. Rather than introducing a separate protagonist for Kure, the video continues following Daito, placing another stage of his life within the game’s broader historical span.
The announcement keeps the details of his assignments and relationships brief, centering on his loyalty and determination to advance.
Five Cities Cover Five Decades
Stranger Than Heaven follows Daito across settings from 1915 to 1965, with each city and era adding another part of his story.
The Kure video follows the previously released “Act 1: Kokura Story Trailer.” Sega plans to release further videos covering Daito’s life in the remaining featured cities, building on the two presentations available so far.
If you want to follow the character-focused previews in sequence, the Kokura trailer comes first, followed by the new Kure chapter.
Stranger Than Heaven Launches January 15
The latest update focuses on the story rather than a breakdown of combat or other gameplay systems. It establishes Daito’s ambitions in Kure while leaving the consequences of those commitments for the full game.
Stranger Than Heaven launches January 15, 2027. Additional city-focused trailers will arrive before release, with updates shared through the game’s official channels.
