Lost Judgment New Gameplay Today PS5 Hands-On Footage

Lost Judgment is the forthcoming follow-up to Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s 2018 action title. Although the Judgment series began as a Yakuza spin-off, it has inherited the mantle of carrying forward Yakuza’s action-led gameplay. Meanwhile, upcoming mainline entries will use the turn-based combat system made popular by Yakuza: Like A Dragon. In this latest New Gameplay Today episode, the Game Informer team presents hands-on Lost Judgment footage captured on PS5.

Lost Judgment’s new investigation

Players begin as Lost Judgment protagonist Takayuki Yagami, who is hired to examine a fresh case involving a man standing trial for public misconduct. The game’s official website offers the clearest outline of the story:

“December 2021, Tokyo district court. Akihiro Ehara stands accused of groping a woman on a crowded train. A bystander’s video footage of his attempt to flee the scene and subsequent apprehension is all over the news, and public outcry demands a maximum sentence.

'Three days ago, a dead body was found in an abandoned building in Yokohama. Have you identified it yet?' he proclaims as confusion cuts through the courtroom. His defense lawyer, Saori Shirosaki, has no doubt that crucial details of the situation have been overlooked, as Ehara was not even tried for the murder. She contacts detective Takayuki Yagami to investigate this further.”
