There’s the aforementioned Akihiro Ehara, of course, a man who was forced to break the law because he’s been failed in devastating fashion by the legal system before. As you’d expect though, Lost Judgment is also going to introduce plenty of completely new characters, some of who the developers have already spoken a fair bit about. Judgment’s central characters are, of course, coming back for the sequel, with Yagami being the protagonist once more, and his partner Masaharu Kaito also returning. Apparently, as Strichart puts it, the game isn’t going to pull any punches. In fact, according to the game’s localization director Scott Strichart, in fact, though Lost Judgment will of course have all the humour and weirdness you’d expect from the series, the story does deal with “various traumas” that he warns players should be prepared for. Supposedly, one of the things that the story will focus on is Yagami’s growing moral dilemmas as he becomes more involved in the investigation and has to decide whether he wants to uphold the law or to make sure that justice is delivered where the system fails.Īs Lost Judgment’s central setup makes it quite clear, the game’s narrative is clearly going to go to some pretty dark places. When, during his trial, it comes to light that he may possibly have something to do with a recently discovered dead body, his defense lawyer contacts private detective Yagami and hires him to look into the case- which serves as a springboard for the game’s story.

What ropes protagonist Takayuki Yagami is the trial of Akihiro Ehara, a man accused of harassment. Lost Judgment takes place a couple of years after the events of its predecessor. As we gear up for its launch, here, we’re going to go over a few key details that you should know about the game. On September 24, its sequel Lost Judgment is launching worldwide (which also marks the first simultaneous launch for any Yakuza or Judgment game, incidentally), and given how good the first Judgment was, it goes without saying that anticipation for Lost Judgment is high. Yakuza may have permanently switch over to being an RPG, but those who still yearn for the series’ classic brawler structure still have Judgment to turn to.
