The SaGa series’ Twitter/X account revealed the news on Wednesday, April 3rd, in the early North American hours. View its post below.
2024 is the RPG year that keeps on giving.
SaGa Emerald Beyond is yet another one of our most anticipated games of 2024 releasing in the first half of the calendar. Unlike Final Fantasy or Like a Dragon, however, the SaGa series is a bit of a divisive one amongst RPGFan staff and definitely one that newer gamers likely missed out on during the Super Famicom and PSone days. Ben Love has us covered on what to expect from this latest entry:
SaGa Emerald Beyond seeks to build on the foundation set by 2019’s SaGa Scarlet Grace by massively expanding the scope, offering 17 different worlds for players to explore, with a setting as heavily influenced by science fiction as fantasy. Players can choose from five different origin characters, all of whom are interesting in their own way. There is a young hero who can control sentient puppets, a witch who disguises herself as a Japanese schoolgirl, a mechanical idol who has lost her original body, a vampire king, and a sapphic pair of police officers hunting down a suspected assassin.
If you haven’t given a SaGa game a shot yet, developer Square Enix has stated that this newest entry will serve as the new best place to jump in.
The full launch for SaGa Emerald Beyond happens April 25th for PS5, PS4, Switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android.
