Through Twitter, Sq. Enix has introduced that the most recent within the SaGa collection, SaGa: Emerald Past, will launch on April 25, 2024. It’s coming to Swap, PS4, PS5, Steam, iOS, and Android.

Whereas a brand new SaGa entry was talked about way back to 2021, SaGa: Emerald Past was solely formally introduced within the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. It’s the most recent from the long-running collection, relationship again to 1989 with Makai Toushi SaGa or The Ultimate Fantasy Legend. You don’t should have been following the collection since then, as this one is supposedly standalone.

SaGa: Emerald Past is an RPG the place you’re taking management of six protagonists and discover 17 interconnected worlds. It encompasses a branching storyline based mostly on the alternatives you make. The fight is turn-based, with quite a lot of emphasis placed on the timeline, which tracks flip order. From the look of it, it’s just like Fuga: Melodies of Metal, the place your success is decided partially by how one can maximize your velocity whereas delaying the enemy.

I’ve by no means gotten into the SaGa collection, primarily as a result of I don’t actually know the place to start out. I’ve performed The Ultimate Fantasy Legend, however dropped off partway by means of. I’m unsure sequentially is the correct transfer right here. Nevertheless, SaGa: Emerald Past seems to be rad as heck, with some nice character design and imaginative worlds.

SaGa: Emerald Past releases on April 25, 2024 on Swap, PS4, PS5, Steam, iOS, and Android.
