Microsoft and SEGA have announced a special broadcast dedicated to Stranger Than Heaven. The showcase, titled Xbox Presents: A Special Look at STRANGER THAN HEAVEN, is scheduled to air next week on May 6.

The presentation will feature the developers and cast as they dive into new details regarding the game's narrative, world-building, and characters. The project was last seen during the Xbox Partner Preview in March, where SEGA and RGG Studio debuted fresh gameplay footage. Fans can tune in via the official Xbox YouTube and Twitch channels. The YouTube stream will support 4K resolution at 60 FPS, with both English and Japanese audio options available.

Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio—the creators of the acclaimed Yakuza/Like a Dragon series—Stranger Than Heaven is a third-person action-adventure focused on gritty, realistic combat. The game is described as an epic saga spanning 50 years of Japanese history, divided into five distinct eras. The title is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

In other showcase news, the date for Nacon Connect 2026 has been set, promising new looks at The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, Edge of Memories, Hunter: The Reckoning — Deathwish, and more.

Will you be watching the broadcast live, or will you catch the trailers and news after the show?
