Yakuza Maker RGG Studio Sets Sept. 24 Summit Before Tokyo Game Show

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the Sega-owned developer behind the Like a Dragon/Yakuza franchise, said it will stream its annual RGG Summit on 24 September, followed immediately by an RGG Direct that promises a deeper dive into the day’s announcements. The presentation will begin at 12 p.m. Japan Standard Time (4 a.m. Pacific / 7 a.m. Eastern) and is scheduled to precede the Tokyo Game Show, giving the studio an early spotlight for reveals. While no specific titles were confirmed, the company is known to be working on Stranger Than Heaven—formerly Project Century—an unnumbered Virtua Fighter sequel, and the next installment in the Like a Dragon series. Last year’s Summit introduced Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which launched in February, underscoring the event’s track record for first looks at major releases. RGG Studio said the follow-up Direct will provide an “in-depth look” at select projects unveiled during the main broadcast.
