Sakura Wars Out Now on PS4 – Launch Trailer

Sakura Wars is ready to take the West by storm with its all-star production on PlayStation 4, including legendary manga artist Tite Kubo! Find out more in SEGA’S launch trailer.

Step into a breathtaking alternate version of 1940s Tokyo, where steampunk technology powers everything from public transportation to the homes and structures that line the streets. At the heart of the city is the Grand Imperial Theater. Here, the theater’s stars sing and dance to distract audiences from their hardships and raise their collective spirits.

But behind the scenes, these performers are part of something grander. They serve in the Flower Division, a covert combat unit within the Imperial Combat Revue, protecting Tokyo from inside giant mechs powered by the heightened spiritual energy each pilot possesses. However, they’re no longer the prestigious crew they once were, and they are facing disbandment.

A demanding set of challenges lays ahead. As captain Seijuro Kamiyama, you will lead this inexperienced squad. Other combat revues are proving they’re better at their jobs. The Grand Imperial Theater, your headquarters, is losing money rapidly. Worse yet, hordes of demonic forces are advancing upon Tokyo at this time of immense weakness

It’s up to you to forge meaningful relationships with your fellow squad members, prove the Flower Division has what it takes to defend Tokyo in the Combat Revue World Games tournament, and fight back those demons to restore peace to the world.
