RGG Studio says Stranger Than Heaven will use PS5 capabilities to display more characters simultaneously and increase character quality for its January 15, 2027, release.

RGG Studio producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto says Stranger Than Heaven will focus on current-gen consoles like the PS5 and drop previous-gen platforms such as the PS4. By leveraging current hardware, the studio says it can display more characters on screen at once than in previous titles and increase character fidelity. Sakamoto noted these changes allow the team to move past hardware constraints that previously limited character counts. The game is scheduled to launch on January 15, 2027.
