SaGa: Scarlet Grace Coming to Switch (and Elsewhere) in 2018

Posted on Friday 9th March 2018 at 14:03 by Rangers51

The most RPG-related news from yesterday's Nintendo Direct came via Square Enix, who announced that SaGa: Scarlet Grace would be ported from its original PlayStation Vita release to Switch later this year. Scarlet Grace is the latest game in the series, released in late 2016 for Vita; as of yet, there has never been a release of the game outside of Japan. As of its release, it was also the first new main-line SaGa game in over a decade.

When this news first broke yesterday at Nintendo Direct, the announcement was specific for Switch, leading Western SaGa fans to worry that there would be no port this time around either. However, since that time, Squenix have confirmed that the game is also coming for PS4, iOS, Android, and Windows, all for release this year. While there's no specific confirmation of a release outside of Japan yet, it is incredibly unlikely that the company will release for smartphones and Windows and not release an English translation simultaneously. This official confirmation is sure to come soon.

	This is neat. It definitely makes sense. The Switch appeals to a lot of Vita fans, so I think it's a good fit

This official confirmation is sure to come soon. I agree with this reasoning, as to my understanding the PC gaming market in Japan in weaker than in the west where it is way stronger.
