The Sakura Wars franchise has seen players enjoy the series since the late 90s with multiple game installments and even an anime on top of it! The franchise is a unique mix of dating sim, mecha battles, and visual novel and has been a huge hit with its fanbase.
Last year the franchise saw a reboot with the Sakura Wars title for the Playstation 4 and had since spurred a resurgence in the franchise that hasn't been seen for some time. Most recently, a new game has been announced titled Sakura Revolution-Flower Blooming Maidens-.
This new title will be for mobile platforms and features a lot of the gameplay beats that players have come to enjoy since the beginning. A new video was released that shows off some of that gameplay, the story, and the game's song "Warera no Inori Warera no Mirai" (Our Prayers, Our Future).
There is no official release date set for Sega and Delight Works' new game, but it should be coming out later this year. Make sure to check out the new trailer below, and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments below!
The game is set in the year Taishō 100 (2011 CE) in the imperial capital Tokyo. Japan suffered devastating damage in the Great Imperial Capital Disaster 16 years ago. The country recovered with Mirai, a new type of energy based in spiritual power. But with the operation of the New Imperial Tower, cherry blossoms don't bloom, and the number of demons called Kōki increases. They attack people in every region of Japan. The official government force Great Imperial Combat Revue B.L.A.C.K. rises up to protect people from the Kōki. The girls simultaneously protect citizens and gain popularity with their supreme live performances.
Sakura Revolution-Flower Blooming Maidens- is coming this year for iOS and Android!
