No longer burdened with having to prove itself and its cast as a viable contender, and riding on the recent surge in popularity of the Yakuza series in the west, Lost Judgment sets its sights high in an attempt to deliver a story and world far bigger and richer than on its inaugural outing. If the first Judgment was a demonstration of what other stories from this universe could look like, and what the potential of this specific franchise could be, Lost Judgment wants very badly to demonstrate that the franchise can stand on its own and that it is deserving of your time and attention.
