Lost Judgment is being developed by the studio that is also responsible for the Yakuza series.

With fresh cases to crack in a new location, Lost Judgment combines detective work, film noir flair and action-packed battles in a mystery thriller with Takayuki Yagami as protagonist - a private detective who defends those who are not protected by the law.

Tokyo District Court, 2021.

A convicted police officer reveals the location of a murder victim’s body, the man who had once bullied his late son. Private detective Takayuki Yagami is called to investigate the impossible case of two crimes committed at once. But what starts out as a straightforward tale of revenge bleeds into a growing criminal network, a flawed legal system, and those who would take advantage of both.

It’s up to you6 and Yagami to hunt down the truth, even if it means scaling buildings, going deep undercover, or breaking out the martial arts to defend yourself when push comes to punch.

Do you have what it takes to solve the perfect crime?
