If you’re eager to know more about the upcoming New Sakura Taisen (codenamed for the west Project Sakura Wars), Sega has you covered.
On August 21, at 8:00 p.m. Japan time, they will host the third reveal livestream about the game, and this time it’ll showcase a brand new revue.
A central aspect of the story of the game is a world championship among revues from all over the world, so it’s not surprising that those have gained a relevant role as reveal beats as the game gets unveiled. Last time we took the first look at the Shanghai Revue, and it’ll be interesting to see who will come next.
Another important element that will be disclosed during the broadcast is the plan for Tokyo Game Show. We learned just this morning that the game will be present, but we don’t yet know in which capacity.
If you want to follow along, you can find the embed for the livestream below.
Incidentally, we recently heard that one of the sources of inspiration for the battle system is the opening animation of Sakura Wars 3, which you can watch here.
If you’d like to learn more about Project Sakura Wars, you can enjoy the latest screenshots, latest gameplay reveal, the previous one, and an earlier gallery of screenshots and art.
You can also check out some awesome artwork by main character designer Tite Kubo and the second batch of character sketches.
