Since the hit video game franchise, Sakura Wars, made its triumphant return to the gamespace with its recent PS4 title, the franchise has had even more surprises up its sleeve. Following one successful game, it has been revealed that there is another game that developers over at Sega and Delight Works have been hard at work with.
Rather than announce a new console title so soon after the release of their most recent one, the team has instead revealed that the next Sakura Wars project is a mobile title called Sakura Kakumei ~Hana Saku Otome-tachi~. The new game has been described as a "dramatic role-playing game" and will feature some in-app purchases but also a free to play completely original story!
To help build excitement for the new title, the creators have released a 24-minute anime promo that has been created by CloverWorks. Fans can also check out an announcement trailer that shows off some of the graphics, however not much in terms of gameplay.
Could this game bridge the gap until the next Sakura Wars title? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to check out the videos below!
