As expected, the big announcement coming from RGG Studio yesterday was the date of the next RGG Summit.

The RGG Summit will be held on September 23 at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET.

(If you’ve seen it announced for September 24, that’s because of the time zone difference. In Japan, it’s September 24.)

Not only that, but there will be a “RGG Direct” immediately after the broadcast to deliver more information on the announcements.

This puts the Summit right ahead of Tokyo Game Show.

While I’m sure they’ll devote time to Stranger Than Heaven (and I’m really looking forward to learning more about that), probably the new Virtua Fighter game as well, and maybe the Switch 2 ports of Kiwami and Kiwami 2, the timing feels right for a new game announcement.

I’ve still got my heart set on either a Kenzan remake or a third Judgment game. Seeing the next Yakuza game would also be nice, but it might be too soon for that.

Now, while we’re on the topic, there’s been a tweet circulating that says the Judgment series is finished for now, but it’s from January, so I’m not sure why it’s getting so much attention now. I also wouldn’t take it as complete fact, because if they were planning a new Judgment game, they wouldn’t just tell anyone who asked.

There’s also been comments circulating about how they don’t want to remake Kenzan, but that is also based on interviews from a few years ago, not anything that was said recently.

So I don’t think it’s impossible for my hopes to come true. On the other hand, if they announce a new Yakuza game instead… well, I’d better hurry and catch up, since I still haven’t finished Infinite Wealth.

What do you think will be announced at the RGG Summit?
