Sadly, following the discharge of the latest chapter of the Sakura Wars sequence for PS4 in 2019 (2020 within the west), that revived the franchise after 15 years of inactivity, Sega has remained mum about the potential for persevering with the sequence with extra video games. The spectacular business flop and shutdown of the cell sport (which nobody requested for) Sakura Kakumei: Hanasaku Otome-tachi dampened the followers’ hopes to see extra video games set within the sequence’ charming alternate world.
It is good to see the fan translation neighborhood preserve the torch lit. Hopefully, Sega itself will return to the sequence sooner or later, however till then, we’ll have one thing shiny to play in Englisgh due to NoahSteam’s group.
