[Video] Relationships Are Important in Sakura Wars

Yakuza is not the only niche IP which SEGA is actively bringing to the market in 2020 and beyond. By the end of next month, Sakura Wars will have been officially rebooted in western gaming markets. First unleashed upon audiences in Japan on the SEGA Saturn in 1996, more than two decades later, SEGA brought together many of the game's original creators and luminaries in the JRPG market for this new title exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Providing their latest look at the Sakura Wars, SEGA have shared a "Relationships Trailer", highlighting some of the characters your protagonist can build a rapport with. Profiles for five of these characters can be found below.
