Project Century Name Change Myth Check

A name change can make old trailers and new announcements look like separate projects. Use these safe answers to keep the Project Century title history clear.

“Project Century was cancelled.”
No cancellation has been announced. Official materials frame STRANGER THAN HEAVEN as the official title of Project Century.
“Project Century was rebooted.”
Not confirmed. A title reveal alone does not prove a development reboot.
“Project Century and STRANGER THAN HEAVEN are different games.”
No. Current official wording links Project Century and STRANGER THAN HEAVEN as the same project under its official title.
“Project Century was replaced.”
Not supported by current public materials. Treat it as a title update, not a replacement claim.
“Project Century was only a codename for a Yakuza prequel.”
The RGG Studio connection is confirmed, but Yakuza / Like a Dragon story-universe status needs its own evidence.

RGG Studio, Yakuza, and Like a Dragon Boundary

STRANGER THAN HEAVEN is a new original title from RGG Studio, the team known for the Like a Dragon series and other SEGA titles.

That studio connection is confirmed. However, the Project Century name change does not by itself confirm that STRANGER THAN HEAVEN is a Yakuza prequel, a Like a Dragon sequel, or a shared-universe entry. If that is the question you came to solve, use the dedicated Yakuza and Like a Dragon connection page.
