'Stranger Than Heaven': 'Yakuza' prequel releases era-spanning trailer

How did the infamous Tojo Clan begin?

"Stranger Than Heaven" chronicles the rise of the Kanto-based group in the world of the video game series "Yakuza."

In the newly released trailer, the prequel introduces Aniki, who says: "A place for people with nowhere else to go, where they can live life on their own terms... I don't know anywhere like that, do you? That's why we're building it ourselves."

The game spans different eras and regions in Japan, from 1915 Kokura to 1965 Shinjuku.

The trailer also offers a glimpse of the gameplay.

"Use extreme violence to survive, and musical talent to thrive as a showman across five cities and eras of modern Japan," PlayStation said. "Coming this winter."

Snoop Dogg also notably plays a character named Orpheus.

"Yakuza" is a video game series by Toshihiro Nagoshi. The first game, "Yakuza," was released in 2005. The latest installment, "Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties," was released in February this year. —JCB, GMA News
