Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven now available for Xbox Series

by

Okay, so Square Enix just dropped *Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven* on Xbox Series X|S and PC through the Microsoft Store. It’s cool because of Xbox Play Anywhere – meaning I can start on one and pick up on the other. Right now it’s on sale for $34.99, but it’ll jump to $49.99 later. Even better, they have a demo out, and my progress in that demo will carry over to the full game if I decide to buy it. Nice!

I was so excited when Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven finally came out! It launched on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Steam on October 24, 2024, and then thankfully made its way to the Switch 2 on July 31, 2025. I’m really happy it’s available on so many platforms!

Here is an overview of the game, via Square Enix:

About

Get ready for *Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven*, a complete 3D update to the beloved 1993 RPG! This is the fifth installment in the *SaGa* series, and it’s designed for both newcomers and longtime fans. Enjoy classic *SaGa* gameplay with new features, fully voiced dialogue in both Japanese and English, and beautifully remastered music!

Story

Long ago, seven legendary warriors saved humanity. But as people grew fearful of their incredible power, these heroes were betrayed by their own kind and exiled to another world. Though banished, their heroic deeds became stories told throughout history, promising their return in a time of great need…

Okay, so the heroes from the old stories are back, but things aren’t what they used to be. After being gone for so long, they’ve… changed. And honestly? They’re *really* not happy about how they were treated before, and they’re out for revenge on anyone who messed with them.

Become the Emperor of Avalon and protect your lands from invading monsters that threaten the Heroes. Lead your empire through generations, grow your power, and defeat the seven vengeful Heroes to restore peace to the world!

Key Features

  • Characters and Imperial Succession – Join forces with characters from over 30 different classes featuring a wide variety of professions and races, each with their own favored weapons, unique abilities, and effective tactics. Choose the next Emperor from this wide pool of candidates, each eligible to inherit the throne and become the next protagonist. The knowledge and abilities of previous rulers are passed down to the next through the mystical art of inheritance magic, forging a lasting bond between you and your chosen characters.
  • Free-Form Scenario – The game presents a unique story structure that offers a vast array of narrative experiences in response to your choices and which objectives you tackle first—from how you expand the Empire to what order you challenge the Seven Heroes. Your actions and decisions will dramatically alter the course of the Emperor’s journey.
  • Combat – The strategic turn-based battle system of the original has been further enhanced to a timeline system. Enjoy all the classic SaGa mechanics like “Glimmers,” where you learn new abilities whilst in the heat of battle, and “Formations,” which provide unique benefits to the retinue based on composition. Furthermore, the remake welcomes the new “United Attack” feature to perform combination attacks with your retinue members to turn the tide of battle!
  • Graphics – The original 2D pixel sprites are now modeled in full 3D while retaining their charming, familiar appearances based on the beautiful concept illustrations by Tomomi Kobayashi. All towns and dungeons are now also fully rendered with reworked terrains and layouts.
  • Difficulty Settings – Select from one of three difficulty levels to match your preferred playstyle, from Casual, Normal, to Hard (Classic). Casual offers a story-focused experience with less emphasis on battle, while Normal is recommended for veteran RPG players looking for a balanced game. Hard (Classic) is perfect for players looking for the brutal but satisfying challenge of the original 1993 version.
  • Music and Voices – Kenji Ito returns to present a beautiful soundtrack full of new arrangements! The music can be toggled between the original and new versions from the Options screen. Furthermore, all event scenes now feature full Japanese and English voice acting.
