[TGA 2024] RGG Studio Unveils Project Century at The Game Awards 2024

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio made a surprise announcement of Project Century during The Game Awards 2024. The new game is set in 1915 Japan, marking a significant departure from the studio’s recent titles. The pre-alpha footage revealed an intriguing glimpse into what appears to be a brutal action game that diverges from the studio’s recent turn-based approach. Unlike the recent mainline Like a Dragon games, Project Century returns to real-time combat, showcasing a more visceral fighting style.

The trailer demonstrated the protagonist engaging in intense combat, utilizing environmental objects like crowbars and glass jars in particularly graphic encounters. The game’s aesthetic seems to suggest an alternative historical setting, with a tone notably more violent than previous RGG Studio productions. While specific story details remain scarce, the 1915 setting promises a unique narrative backdrop. The protagonist appears to be an unfamiliar character, adding to the mystery surrounding the project.

This announcement comes on the heels of the studio’s recent releases, including Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth in January and the upcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, set to launch on February 21. RGG Studio has been notably prolific, having released 12 games in the past five years, including titles from the Yakuza series, Judgment games, and even Super Monkey Ball entries.

No release date has been confirmed for Project Century, with the current trailer representing only pre-alpha footage. Fans and industry observers will be eagerly awaiting more information about this intriguing new project from the renowned Japanese game developer.
