Sega and Ryu ga Gotoku Studio return to Takayuki Yagami’s story




Sega’s Yakuza team announced a sequel to Judgment, the 2019 action-thriller starring Takayuki Yagami as a disgraced lawyer turned detective, during a “Judgment Day” livestream on Friday. The next game in the series is called Lost Judgment, and once again features Yagami on a mission of mystery surrounding a gruesome murder.

Lost Judgment, Yakuza series executive director Toshihiro Nagoshi said, will expand on Yagami’s story as he deals with the fallout from a guilty verdict handed down in Japanese court. According to Yagami’s Japanese voice actor, Takuya Kimura, not only will the game’s main character contend with a grim murder, he’ll also have to go undercover at a local high school, which will allow for a variety of storytelling elements, including comedy.

Nagoshi also confirmed that Lost Judgment will launch worldwide on Sept. 24 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.


Lost Judgment will be set in two main locations: Kamurocho in Tokyo and Yokohama. The game’s producer, Kazuki Hosokawa, called Yokohama a living city that changes from day to night. It’s also where Lost Judgment’s high school is located. Hosokawa said that the team has modeled the school’s classrooms, hallways, faculty rooms, and gym in “great detail.”

Yagami is also getting a combat upgrade, with multiple fighting styles (Crane, Tiger, Snake). So too are investigations improving; Yagami has new stealth and traversal options while searching for clues. Perhaps Yagami’s greatest trick will be going undercover at the local high school, where he’ll box, dance, and skateboard alongside the Yokohama teens. Hosokawa called these missions “School Stories,” and promised side missions “full of laughs, tears, struggles, and maybe even a little suspense too.”

The original Judgment was released first in Japan (where it was known as Judge Eyes) in 2018 for PlayStation 4. Sega brought the game to the West the following year, then ported the PS4 version to Google Stadia, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. In our review of the game, we called Judgment a “bold, stand-alone game that’s easy to jump into” even if you aren’t familiar with Sega’s long-running Yakuza franchise.

“While it might share its bones with other Yakuza games, Judgment builds something new out of them,” Polygon reviewer Jeff Parkin said. “It doesn’t stray from its roots — it’s still a crime drama with lots of punching — but it fills out the story of the city and its people in a way that’s not possible from a game focused only on the criminal underworld. This is the same city, just seen from a very different perspective.”

The ultimate edition w/ all DLC, including the Kaito files, is on sale for $45. I want to get it, but haven't yet finished the first game. But now that there's a PS5 version, I'd rather play that...only there's no upgrade path 🤷‍♂️

Ultimate edition of the 2nd game. Need to finish the first game before that, but there's no upgrade path from PS4 to PS5, unfortunately. And the PS5 version of the first game isn't on sale either.

So I started this .. FINALLY :p

On Chapter 3! Game is not as impactful as the first one so far, parkour is rubbish, stealth is rubbish, Yokohama is rubbish!

Love the new fighting style & the revamped narrative style!

So far, feels like a step down from the first one!

It's not as strong or unique as the first one, and the story takes a lot of very crazy saas bahu drama level twists near the end, but it's still one of the better 'brawler' style games in the market.

They should have made that peep hole in the box & made this scene in first person view when moving, would be much funnier!

Finished after starting it nearly TWO MONTHS ago!! :/

The main story & all the related characters were extremely boring in this one.

Haven't touched the side stuff yet, ill do in the premium mode now.

Hopefully the side stuff is better.

Also, I know I posted about this in the first game .. BUT I gotta post it again from this one too;

Spoiler: show


:p

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
