Today the Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu hosted a livestream dedicated to Shin Sakura Taisen, also known as Project Sakura Wars in the west.
The video showcases what appears to be a final or near-final build of the game, including the first hour of gameplay.
While you may have seen much of it as part of the demo, there are definitely moments that weren’t included.
Chiefly, we get to see the opening cutscene, which features a heroine who will prove very familiar to old fans of the series.
Of course, you should keep in mind that the video includes mild spoilers for those who want to go in completely blind.
