Lost Judgment got a new gameplay trailer during Sony's latest State of Play, and boy does this sequel look good. Private detective Yagami is back to crack another grizzly murder case, but this time, it seems as though a range of ridiculous minigames will be vying for your attention.
Of course, Judgment had plenty of minigames as well — in true Yakuza fashion — but this is on another level. The above gameplay trailer gives us a sneak peak at activities such as boxing, dancing, robot fighting, motorbike racing, skateboarding, and, er, dog walking (kind of). In short, we're beyond hyped.
The trailer also reminds us about the sequel's fleshed out investigation elements, stealth gameplay, and Yagami's new counter-based snake style combat stance. The game's out pretty soon, too; its worldwide release is on the 24th September.
Lost Judgment is shaping up to be an absolutely packed sequel, but are you in? Dust off your leather jacket in the comments section below.

I can't wait I've seen enough wake me when it's ready!
I completed Judgment just the other day. Having played Yakuza 0 through 6 before it, I hadn't felt this immensely satisfied by an RgG Studio game ever since 0.
Needless to say, I'm ecstatic for Lost.
RGG Studio's really gone all-out with these new minigames it seems. Makes me want to play through Judgment again purely for the hype.
Currently on Chapter 10 of Judgment and diving in to some side quests to postpone the inevitable ending to leave less of a gap before I can dive into the sequel.
The dancing mini game from Yakuza 5 is back. YES.
@ShogunRok
Agreed, who would have thought we would get some Tony Hawk skateboarding action in our RGG studio games? This studio continues to surprise me!
@Korgon You can ride your skateboard around town as well! GOTY material.
This looks awesome. I gotta play the first Judgment.
Loved Yakuza like a Dragon and this brought vibes of that game in this one. Certainly will be following this one up to release and probably buy day one.
@AndyKazama what? no! that mini game was a platinum blocker! 😞😖🙁😣
@ShogunRok why don't he use a electric scooter lol
@huyi I think Yagami is 35 years old, so he probably thought skateboarding was super cool in the 1990s. Maybe...
Or maybe he thinks skateboarding is more exercise. He's gotta keep in shape!
Really doesn't sit right with me with the voices in English.
Assuming we'll get the choice of Japanese voice acting as normal?
What about the investigation elements is 'fleshed out' in this game? Some actual deduction on the part of the player, rather than just minigames and finding stuff in the environment would be great.
@huyi I never got the platinum in most Yakuza games because of Mahjong. 😅
@AndyKazama
Same. No matter how hard I try, I just can't wrap my head around Mahjong!😆
@AndyKazama @Korgon Mahjong is easy once you know the hands. It's just rummy with tiles instead of cards. But memorising the hands is a nightmare! It took me ages and the AI is kind of random. Defintely my least fav trophy the completion list one! Still working on it. Mini games take ages!
@DeepSpace5D Same here! I keep waiting for a sale on Judgment PS5 version, but it's prob not gonna happen until Nov/Dec 2021, which is after Lost Judgment's release.
@solocapers Yes it has been confirmed you can play Lost Judgment with the original Japanese voice cast.
