The newest edition of Weekly Famitsu has announced a collaboration event between Sakura Wars and the popular Japanese mobile game Granblue Fantasy. Details are scarce at the moment, but what we do know is that there will be an event featuring the Sakura Wars franchise at a date that is to be specified, and that it will at least feature Sakura Shinguuji, if not more characters. Chisa Yokoyama will be reprising her voicing role for the character.
There is a photo of a page with Sakura Shinguuji rendered in the Granblue Fantasy artstyle. The art looks amazing!
Granblue Fantasy has done crossovers with a couple of other franchises thus far, including Street Fighter and Tales. A TV anime project is also in the works, and a North American version of Granblue Fantasy launched earlier this month.
Official release of this week’s edition should be expected tomorrow, April 28 in Japan.
It’s a strong year for Sakura Wars! I do hope that we can see another Sakura Wars game released this year to commemorate its 20th anniversary.

Not sure if missed or still not worth the news entry, but in the last live stream PSO2 also confirmed some collab with Sakura Wars, they didn’t show any in-game content, just an artwork at the end of June’s preview trailer, I’d expect it to be in the Sonic’s BD update, they always add sega costumes on that week, but it would be nice to have an exclusive lobby like the Virtual ON one, with some Kobus instead of a giant Temjin http://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-live-broadcast-41-recap/
a sharp one 😉
we ended up deciding to wait for more info.
pls announce a live concert for 20th anniversary
Sakura Taisen Budoukan 3!
it will be worth it to go to japan for the concert.
any news for the concert? they have the live concert Budoukan 2 for the 15th anniv.
