Stranger Than Heaven traces five Tokyo‑based cities across five eras—1915, 1929, 1943, 1951, and 1965—culminating in the 1960s Kamurocho district, the same setting that anchors the Yakuza series.

Fans will gain insights into how the narrative weaves historical events with high‑octane action for players worldwide again.

Viewers can catch the event via the embedded YouTube link or on Twitch’s Xbox channel, where an ASL version will also be provided.
