RGG Studio, the team behind the Like a Dragon series, has revealed what comes in the Deluxe Edition of STRANGER THAN HEAVEN. The protagonist’s outfit is a collaboration with WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO, the brand of fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. The game launches January 15, 2027, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), and the Xbox version will also be available through Game Pass at launch.

You play Makoto Daito, moving through Japan from 1915 to 1965 across five eras and five cities. In combat, Makoto’s left and right hands act separately: block with one and hit back with the other. He also fights with knives, hammers, and swords. Makoto is also a show promoter. He collects rumors around town, records ambient sounds to make music, and puts on shows. The voice cast includes Snoop Dogg, Tori Kelly, and Cordell Broadus, and Tupac Shakur makes a special appearance.

The Deluxe Edition is the main game plus seven bonuses. The collab outfit, Original Outfit (Makoto Daito), is a jumpsuit printed with the bald eagle and dragon designs from Makoto Daito’s tattoos, running from the back down to the feet. Also included: Set of 4 New Weapons, which adds four weapons; Set of 4 New Skilled Performers, one in each of four cities; and Set of 3 New Stage Production Items, for confetti, smoke, and balloons. Record Player (in-game soundtrack) plays 28 tracks from the game at your base. Electronic Camera is an upgraded version of the main game’s camera, and its photos go straight into your album without being developed. Special Promotional Poster rounds out the set. The bonuses unlock as you progress through the story.

Standard Edition owners can add the bonuses later with the Deluxe Upgrade. The physical Collector’s Edition for PlayStation 5 comes with a code for this upgrade, along with a vinyl record of the main theme and other items. The pre-order bonus is a weapon, the short blade Dosu: Kagekiri.

Two of the bonuses, the skilled performers and the confetti, smoke, and balloon stage effects, look like they tie into putting on Makoto’s shows.
