“Emperors around the world: it’s time to engage in battle. I’m sure you all come from different walks of life, but you all share the same determination to throw everything you have into making the Empire and its people happy. It’s because of this you were chosen to become the Emperor. The path of the Emperor is a difficult one, and at times you may feel heartbroken in the face of hopeless battles. When you think you can't stand up again, remember the Emperors throughout the world who will continue to push forward, fighting for your name and honor. The path of the Emperor never ends, and so you, too, must rise and avenge yourself. After overcoming countless difficulties, the Seven Heroes who await you will surely welcome you with open arms. No doubt they will honor your arrival and stand against you with all their strength, and so I wish godspeed to every Emperor.

‘Make way for Their Imperial Majesty! Their Grace shall lead our forces to glorious victory!’"

Akitoshi Kawazu, SaGa Franchise General Director

 
“Today, we’ve launched Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.
 
“Over the past three years that I’ve worked on this project, I’ve come to realize once again the greatness of the original Romancing SaGa 2’s staff, starting with Akitoshi Kawazu. Creating an experience that weaves together thousands of years of history, where the throne is passed down from one Emperor to the next, all to defeat the Seven Heroes… My hat goes off to them for devising this unique narrative, especially during a time when classic and traditional RPGs were at their prime.
 
“Every day during development, we’d discuss as a team how to make Revenge of the Seven more compelling for modern audiences and how to convey this to the world. I’m a little sad for those days to be over, but I’m also very excited that our game is finally ready for players to enjoy. We put everything we had into this title, and we hope that as many people as possible will play it. I hope that today marks a big step towards a new future for Romancing SaGa.”

– Shinichi Tatsuke, Producer


In Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, players will embark on a generation-spanning adventure to expand their empire while fending off the threat of the Seven Heroes. With the Free-Form Scenario system, the player’s choices will impact the story’s development, including who inherits the imperial throne with each successive generation. Developed by the team behind the 2020 Trials of Mana remake, this ground-up remake and standalone story will feature modern visuals, reworked strategic gameplay and various other enhancements that will delight longtime SaGa fans and newcomers alike, including the ability to switch between the classic soundtrack and a newly rearranged version, plus three difficulty modes that can be adjusted at any point.

 
Those interested in getting their feet wet before purchasing the game can still download the Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven demo on all platforms. In it, players step into the shoes of Emperor Leon alongside his second son Prince Gerard. The pair and their retinue attempt to subdue Kzinssie, one of the Seven Heroes, setting the stage for the multi-generation story to unfold. Progress from the demo will carry over to the full game on that corresponding platform.
 
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is available now for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC via Steam. A free demo is also available for download on all platforms. The game is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB. For more information, visit: https://press.na.square-enix.com/Romancing-SaGa-2-Revenge-of-the-Seven#?tab=combo&scrollto=.

About the SaGa Series
SaGa is a series of revolutionary role-playing games (RPG), created by legendary game developer Akitoshi Kawazu (FINAL FANTASY, FINAL FANTASY II, SaGa Frontier). Since THE FINAL FANTASY LEGEND was released in 1990 for the Game Boy, the series has expanded with several additional entries across numerous platforms. Other SaGa franchise regulars include illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi, who has given the series its own unique style, and composer Kenji Ito (Mana series). Although the SaGa franchise shares its roots with FINAL FANTASY, the SaGa series has always incorporated revolutionary and challenging gameplay mechanics, such as player choice, branching storylines and implementing characters with wildly different playstyles, setting it apart from other JRPG series. A full HD-remake of Romancing SaGa 2, the hit RPG that sold more than 1 million copies upon its 1993 release in Japan, is now available for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC via Steam.
