Following the trailer reveal, RGG Studio Head Masayoshi Yokoyama took to the stage to officially confirm the game’s release date. Yokoyama was later joined on stage by Snoop Dogg and his son Cordell Broadus who both portray characters in the game and touched on the inclusion of Tupac as a new character named Amaru. Snoop Dogg is also contributing to the game’s official theme song, along with Satoshi Fujihara, Ado, and Tori Kelly who also portray characters in the game.
Tupac’s portrayal of the character Amaru in STRANGER THAN HEAVEN is made possible with the permission and ongoing supervision of his estate, Amaru Entertainment. RGG Studio is treating this integration with the utmost respect for his legacy, crafting every aspect in the close collaboration and without the use of AI, including his character design based on archival footage and photographs. More details regarding his role will be shared at a later date.
STRANGER THAN HEAVEN will be available on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, Steam, and PlayStation 5. It is available now for pre-order in digital standard and deluxe editions, as well as physical standard and collector’s editions.
