The first game in the Sakura Wars series came out on September 27, 1996, which means this year will be its 30th anniversary.
Sega has revealed a 30th anniversary logo, along with the promise of merch and events.
It’s disappointing that they haven’t even hinted at a new game announcement for the anniversary, but maybe there’s still hope.
We last talked about Sakura Wars in December, when fans noticed the official social media account had seen more active for the past few months. That hasn’t led to anything yet, but the anniversary feels like a great opportunity for it.
I’d love if they celebrated the anniversary with a remaster collection of the original games (or even just started with the first one) that could get an official translation. I do want to play the 2019 game sometime, but I’m even more interested in the older ones.
Do you think there will be a new Sakura Wars game or remaster for the 30th anniversary?
