Lost Judgment's Kaito Files DLC Teases Story Details In Launch Trailer

screenrant.com:

The DLC expansion for Lost Judgment is set to release later this week, and will explore the backstory of recurring ally Masaharu Kaito as teased in a new launch trailer. Players were first introduced to this gruff Yakuza lieutenant-turned detective in 2019’s Judgment, a spin-off to Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza series of open-world action titles. Judgment's former attorney Takayuki Yagami helps Kaito uncover the truth behind a robbery that led to his removal from the Yakuza, and in return, Kaito uses the fighting skills he gained in his time as a criminal enforcer to provide valuable back-up when Yagami trails a twisted serial killer named «The Mole.» Naturally, Kaito would return in last year’s follow-up Lost Judgment, where he and Yagami work to solve the mystery surrounding a man accused of both murder and sexual harassment at the same time — a case that takes them behind the walls of a troubled Japanese high school.

DLC for Lost Judgment was announced shortly before the game was released to positive reviews last fall, with the first round of content featuring bonus Sega arcade minigames and side activities for Yagami to distract himself with when he’s not out working a case. A later, much larger Lost Judgment DLC expansion titled The Kaito Fileswas also revealed, one that will add 10 extra hours of story content to Lost Judgment and put players in the role of Kaito as he works to solve a new case and tie up loose ends regarding his past. In addition to these new missions, Kaito has two new fighting styles to unleash upon enemies who think they can take on a former Yakuza in hand-to-hand combat.
