Game features

A group of formidable men wearing red scarves stand in the middle of a busy street.

Face down fate

San Francisco, 1915. Orphaned and persecuted for his mixed American and Japanese heritage, young Makoto Daito sneaks aboard a mysterious ship. Rejected by the United States, he risks everything to seek belonging in his mother’s homeland: Japan.

Banners hang over an unpaved street as well-dressed people go about their day.

5 eras, 5 cities

The story unfolds across a version of Japan that may have existed in another life, immersing you in 5 sprawling cities: 1915, Kokura, Fukuoka; 1929, Kure, Hiroshima; 1943, Minami, Osaka; 1951, Atami, Shizuoka; and 1965, Shinjuku, Tokyo.

A tattooed man leads a group of rough-looking men walking along train tracks.

The most intuitive and extreme violence

Experience this struggle through the raw brutality of an evolving combat system that feels alive. You won't just control Makoto Daito, you'll become him – moving his left and right sides independently to attack, defend and force your way to victory.

A man wearing sunglasses and a tan suit sits thoughtfully.

Life of a showman

Early on, Makoto's guide and mentor discovers his hidden talent for music, and before long, Makoto finds himself not only singing a tune or two, but stepping into the role of a showman, producing a variety of incredible acts throughout Japan.
