The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu features a massive interview with the creators of steampunk strategy RPG series Sakura Wars in celebration of its 30th anniversary, revealing the existence of a plot for a potential Sakura Wars 6, SEGA‘s desire to bring the original games to modern platforms, and more.
Sakura Wars series creator Oji Hiroi told the magazine that he developed a plot for Sakura Wars 6 when there was talk about making a new entry in the series.
“I only came up with the plot for 6 because there had been discussions about making the next game,” Hiroi said.
“But I do have a plot. There’s a character named Black Swan who is in cryogenic hibernation. She’s a good character.”
Hiroi added that the plot might no longer be on his computer, and declined to reveal the identity of the person who may have the only other copy. He also clarified that the plot’s existence does not mean Sakura Wars 6 is in development, saying he would consider developing the idea if asked to make a prototype and paid for the work.
Hiroi also said that if a Sakura Wars 6 were made based on that plot, the title would use the numeral “6” rather than the Roman numeral “VI.”
“It would be ‘6‘,” he said. “I wonder why we used a Roman numeral when we did V… It’s a mystery (laughs).”
SEGA’s Akira Nishino, who has worked on the Sakura Wars series from Sakura Wars: Hanagumi Taisen Columns onward, and currently serves as a producer, director, and supervisor for various SEGA projects, said that SEGA would like to bring the original games to modern platforms, from the first Sakura Wars through Sakura Wars V: So Long, My Love.
