Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the devs behind the Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) series, shared pre-alpha footage of its next game at The Game Awards on Dec. 12, but studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama says the short video reveals absolutely none of the projects contents.During a Dec. 26 broadcast, Yokoyama claimed every fan theory and bit of speculation hes seen online about Project Century is wrong. We didnt include any information that would enable people to guess, he said, confirming only that Project Century is an action-adventure game like previous Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio properties.Project Centurys first reveal indicates the game takes place in 1915, and that its as-of-yet unnamed protagonist will wield a variety of deadly weapons in combat in addition to the usual fisticuffs, and perhaps even court a woman or two. According to Automaton West, some Like a Dragon fans have speculated that the man in the teaser is a young Makoto Tojo, the founder of the Tojo Clan seen in the studios modern-day Yakuza games, and that rapper Snoop Dogg may be involved, but we can probably put those theories on ice thanks to Yokoyamas statements.Two days prior to Project Centurys debut, Sega filed two trademarks related to the property, one for the name of the company on the back of the protagonists robe Yashima Boueki Kaisha, or roughly Japan Trade Company and another for its logo. After Project Century was revealed, one Redditor noted that the rest of the text on the mans clothing No matter how far, we have no limits, we are as fast as lightning is written in modern Japanese, rather than the style one might expect of the time period in which the game is set.Project Century currently has no official release date or platforms.
