Yakuza Spinoff Judgment Getting Remastered For PS5, Xbox Series X In April
Sega and developer RGG Studio announced that they are re-releasing Judgment–the Yakuza series spinoff that first launched in 2019 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive–for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Stadia. The game will be remastered with “refined visuals” and will run at 60 fps to take advantage of the new hardware. You also won’t have to wait long; this new version is set to launch on April 23 this year for $39.99 USD.
Judgment takes place in the same universe as the Yakuza franchise but tells an entirely separate story from the mainline games. While it uses the familiar setting of Kamurocho and incorporates a few recognizable elements, such as the Tojo Clan and crime drama, you won’t need an extensive Yakuza background to enjoy it. You play as a Takayuki Yagami, a disgraced lawyer turned private detective who uncovers a much larger conspiracy–it’s a gripping story with a different tone from the Yakuza games but still has the same storytelling qualities.
The game plays much like previous Yakuza games with action brawler combat, however Yagami is a lot more acrobatic and it influences the way he fights. And Kamurocho is again a lively open city full of side quests and minigames to fill out the world. You’ll do detective work as well, investigating environments to find clues and questioning key witnesses and suspects to advance the plot.
The Batman’s Jeffrey Wright To Play Dark Knight in Comedic Batman Podcast
Commissioner Gordon is at odds with Batman as often as he is allied with him in the comics. Now, in a new comedic podcast, Commissioner Gordon is Batman. Actor Jeffrey Wright, who plays Gordon in the upcoming Matt Reeves Batman film, will step into the Dark Knight’s ninja boots in Batman: The Audio Adventures, THR reports.
Details on the podcast are sparse, but we know that this will be a comedic take on the usually dour character. Former SNL writer Dennis McNicholas wrote and directed the series, which will release sometime this year.
The cast list for the audio show is bursting at the seams with big names in comedy, much like the cast of HBO Max’s Harley Quinn, which has also found success putting a comedic spin on the world of Gotham City.
