A Judgment countdown website has launched ahead of a May 7 reveal
“Judgment Day” teased as Judgment debuts on next-gen consoles and Stadia
Sega has launched a Judgment countdown website ahead of an announcement scheduled for May 7 at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST.
At that time, the “Judgment Day” video embedded at the top of this page will go live.
A set of Japanese trademarks published in March included Lost Judgment from Sega, which could potentially refer to a Judgment sequel.
Developed by Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Yakuza spin-off Judgment originally released for PS4 in Japan—where it’s called Judge Eyes—in 2018 before coming west in 2019.
Judgment is released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia worldwide today. Priced at $39.99, the remastered version includes all of the original’s DLC, “refined” visuals, 60 FPS performance and faster loading times.

The game sees players assume the role of lawyer-turned-investigator Takayuki Yagami, who’s working a case related to Kamurocho’s criminal underground.
VGC’s Judgment review said the title “doesn’t deliver on its investigative pitch, but its humour and sense of place still shine”.
Our critic wrote: “Judgment is plenty entertaining, but it is just a muted Yakuza game in disguise. And after so many games of smashing faces into concrete, we hoped for a little more than that.”
RGG Studio said in February that there are no plans to bring the game to PC.
