Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is a full HD remake of the hit RPG that was released back in 1993 in Japan and sold more than 1 million copies. Developed by the team behind the Trials of Mana 2020 Remake, this installment will have a standalone story and will feature modern visuals, reworked strategic gameplay, and various other enhancements.
Here’s an overview of the game:
Story
It is the Imperial year 1000. Terrifying fiends plague the land and various nations struggle to contend with both this incursion and their own internal conflicts. The people wait in hope for the fulfilment of an ancient legend that foretells the coming of seven great heroes who will save their ravaged kingdoms.
Then, one fated day, Avalon, the capital of the Varennes Empire, is suddenly and brutally attacked. The aggressor is none other than Kzinssie, one of the seven heroes of legend. The people are crushed underfoot and Prince Victor, the brave and noble heir to the imperial throne, is slain.
The citizens of the empire are overcome with despair in the realisation that the legends were false, but Victor’s father, Emperor Leon, swears his vengeance on the Seven and their mighty powers.
He uses the fabled “inheritance magic” bestowed by the seeress Orieve to pass his powers on to his other son Gerard, trading his own life for a chance for his heir to strike back.
This act marked the first chapter in a deadly tale of a war fought long ago, an epoch-spanning struggle between the imperial line of Varennes and the Seven Heroes.

Check out a message from the producer and composer of the game:
Producer – Shinichi Tatsuke
“Hello, this is producer Shinichi Tatsuke. This marks the first time I’m handling a SaGa title. Around three years ago, we had just completed the development and launch of Trials of Mana, which I worked on as the producer. Just as I was in the process of exploring what title to work on next alongside our development partner xeen Inc., Kawazu-san (SaGa franchise general director, Akitoshi Kawazu) and the SaGa team invited me to join them. That’s how I started working on the development for this title.
Working on this title made me realize once again how Romancing SaGa 2 is a very unique and captivating game, not only by the standards of the times back then, but of the modern era as well.
The imperial succession, Free-Form Scenario system, Glimmers, and the wonderful characters make me believe that this game will absolutely hold its own in today’s day and age. We put our heads together to understand how we can make this title feel intuitive for existing fans and new players alike.
The team is currently working together in the last stretch of development. Please look forward to the launch of the new Romancing SaGa 2, which inherits the traditional DNA of the SaGa franchise, but also incorporates various added elements.”
Composer – Kenji Ito
“I would like to congratulate the team on the announcement of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven!
For this title, I newly arranged all the tracks I had originally created for the Super Famicom version. Some players may be wary of that change, but please rest assured that the tracks have been polished anew to reflect the deep affection that the producer, Shinichi Tatsuke, has for Romancing SaGa 2.
I’ve also prepared new tracks for this title, so I would love for players to get to hear these tracks all together.”
Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is launching on PS4, PS5, and Switch on October 24, 2024. The PC version will launch on October 25.
