Like A Dragon Devs Tackle The Japan Of 1915 In Project Century

Like A Dragon studio Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) is developing an open-world crime game set in the year 1915. Its working title is Project Century and the announcement trailer debuted at The Game Awards.

Project Century seems to be set in the middle of a rapidly industrializing Japan, but the exact location is unclear. The first few moments of the trailer show traditional wooden buildings surrounded by electrical wires and smokestacks. As a jazz band plays, citizens of the city mull around market stalls, ride street trams, and get into street brawls.

Then the trailer switches into showing off what appears to be gameplay. The camera follows one figure from behind as he beats, bruises, and brutalizes foes. The style is distinctly more vicious than Like A Dragon: enemies spurt out blood and the protagonist dual-wields crowbars and knives.
