This Time Period Is Rarely Used
Project Century, created by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, takes players to Japan in 1915.

Project Century Should Maintain RGG Studio’s Strengths
RGG Makes Great Games
The success ofProject Centurydepends on RGG Studio using its strengths, which have developed over the years with the popularYakuza:Like a Dragonseries.

The studio’s unique style, combining intense fighting with emotional stories, has really resonated with players.
Anyone who hasn’t tried a game from RGG shouldstart playing theYakuzagame seriesto see why it’s so loved.
Project Centuryshouldn’t stray from this successful formula. Instead, the game should adapt to fit the new historical setting. The game should include complex and sometimes silly side quests, fun mini-games, and a vibrant city that feels alive, allowing players to interact with the unique people and surroundings of 1915 Japan.There’s a great opportunity to explore the social and political climate of the Taisho erawhile keeping the humor and emotional depth that fans love.
The goal is to take what worked in theYakuza:Like a Dragongames and bring it into this new time period, ensuring thatProject Centurycaptures the essence of its predecessors while developing its own unique style. Therealistic and intense combat hinted at in the trailer suggests that it would actually appeal to those who liked the realism ofRed Dead Redemptionwhile keeping the style the studio is best known for. If anything, this could rank high when takingeveryYakuzagameinto account. It will definitely scratch the itch of playing a game set in the time periodRed Dead Redemptionleaves off in.
