By Skipping Last-Gen Systems, Stranger Than Heaven is Allowing RGG Studio to Fully Leverage the Power of Current-Gen Consoles at Long Last

Stranger Than Heaven will apparently be the most technically accomplished game that developer RGG Studio has ever produced, and that’s largely due to the fact that it's being created solely for current generation hardware. The game’s producer, Hiroyuki Sakamoto, confirmed as much to IGN during an interview conducted at Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 this week. “We set out to make Stranger Than Heaven as a completely brand-new game, with the goal of creating something entirely fresh while putting forth the absolute best quality we can produce right now,” explained Sakamoto.
