Recent articles

Lost Judgment, the sequel to the 2018 Yakuza spin-off Judgment, is fast approaching its September 24 worldwide release date, when the game will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X. So it’s no wonder that publisher SEGA is ramping up the marketing machine.

Today, the Japanese publication Famitsu has released over an hour of brand new gameplay footage, broken up into three YouTube videos.

However, there are rumors that Lost Judgment could be the final entry in this Yakuza spin-off series, due to disputes with the protagonist’s talent agency. For some reason, they’re resisting a PC launch, leaving SEGA to question whether there’s any point in continuing with the franchise.

Anyway, here’s the official rundown of this new episode according to SEGA.

December 2021, Tokyo District Court. Akihiro Ehara is accused of groping a woman on a crowded train. Video footage of a bystander of his attempt to flee the scene and subsequent arrest is all over the news, and public outcry is demanding maximum punishment.

“Three days ago a body was found in an abandoned building in Yokohama. Have you identified it yet?” he proclaims as confusion cuts through the courtroom.

His lawyer, Saori Shirosaki, has no doubts that crucial details of the situation have been overlooked, as Ehara was not even tried for the murder. She contacts Detective Takayuki Yagami to investigate further.

How could Ehara have committed two crimes at once? Was the sexual battery just a cover? Did Ehara play the whole legal system? As victims surface and Yagami digs further into the truth, he is faced with a question: defend the law or do justice?

From just a single stumbling block one can become a monster…
  • Law and disorder – Lost Judgment puts players back in the sneakers of lawyer-turned-street-fighting detective Takayuki Yagami. Along with his partner, ex-yazuka Masaharu Kaito, the crime-fighting duo are summoned to investigate a seemingly perfect crime whose prime suspect has a watertight alibi. What begins as a revenge story reveals a tangled web of conspiracy involving several unlikely factions taking advantage of a broken justice system. But as the victims pile up and Yagami unravels the truth, he must choose between defending the law or demanding justice.
  • Free form battles – Yagami’s different martial arts give him mastery in every situation, from group ambushes to taking out a single target. Use Crane, Tiger and the new Snake Stance, a graceful style that can deflect and repel an opponent’s attacks by using their energy against them.
  • Research action – Yagami’s arsenal of detective tricks grows with new gadgets, stealth tracking of suspects and cunning methods of infiltration. Leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of the truth.
  • No place better – Immerse yourself in the bustling downtown of Tokyo and Yokohama at your own pace in an authentic setting that only the RGG Studio can deliver. Play at Club SEGA, find your next favorite hangout, take cases from the locals and more.
