Sega seems filled with renewed confidence in its Sakura Wars brand. After years of silence, 2020 has seen the launch of a new PS4 game, a brand new anime, and some delightful merch based around the long-running, closely-held franchise. It would also seem that the publisher is just getting started.
The 14th Sakura Wars stream was held this past weekend to coincide with the premiere of the aforemetioned anime’s final episode. While the stream was mostly focused on the TV show itself, various remarks were made suggesting that there were plans for the Imperial Combat Revue going forward. Specifically, Sakura Wars series producer Tetsu Katano referenced a recent Sega survey, noting that fans are already clamouring for a sequel to the latest Sakura Wars video game – a request that fills him and his team with the confidence to push forward. It’s probably worth remembering that Sega recently trademarked several mystery titles, including Sakura Ishin (“Restoration”) and Sakura Wars B.L.A.C.K.
