Take on the Seven Heroes and Embark on your Generation-Spanning Adventure

SYDNEY (Oct. 25, 2024) – Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, a full 3D remake of the hit RPG that sold more than 1 million copies upon its 1993 release in Japan, is now available on Nintendo Switch^™, PlayStation^®5 (PS5^®), PlayStation^®4 (PS4^®) and PC via Steam^®. Starting today, players can embark on an epic standalone adventure that will span multiple generations as they build and protect their empire while contending with the fearsome Seven Heroes in snappy yet strategic turn-based battles.

“Emperors around the world: it’s time to engage in battle. I’m sure you all come from different walks of life, but you all share the same determination to throw everything you have into making the Empire and its people happy. It’s because of this you were chosen to become the Emperor. The path of the Emperor is a difficult one, and at times you may feel heartbroken in the face of hopeless battles. When you think you can’t stand up again, remember the Emperors throughout the world who will continue to push forward, fighting for your name and honor. The path of the Emperor never ends, and so you, too, must rise and avenge yourself. After overcoming countless difficulties, the Seven Heroes who await you will surely welcome you with open arms. No doubt they will honor your arrival and stand against you with all their strength, and so I wish godspeed to every Emperor.

“‘Make way for Their Imperial Majesty! Their Grace shall lead our forces to glorious victory!’“

–Akitoshi Kawazu, SaGa Franchise General Director

“Today, we’ve launched Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.

“Over the past three years that I’ve worked on this project, I’ve come to realize once again the greatness of the original Romancing SaGa 2’s staff, starting with Akitoshi Kawazu. Creating an experience that weaves together thousands of years of history, where the throne is passed down from one Emperor to the next, all to defeat the Seven Heroes… My hat goes off to them for devising this unique narrative, especially during a time when classic and traditional RPGs were at their prime.

“Every day during development, we’d discuss as a team how to make Revenge of the Seven more compelling for modern audiences and how to convey this to the world. I’m a little sad for those days to be over, but I’m also very excited that our game is finally ready for players to enjoy. We put everything we had into this title, and we hope that as many people as possible will play it. I hope that today marks a big step towards a new future for Romancing SaGa.”

– Shinichi Tatsuke, Producer

In Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, players will embark on a generation-spanning adventure to expand their empire while fending off the threat of the Seven Heroes. With the Free-Form Scenario system, the player’s choices will impact the story’s development, including who inherits the imperial throne with each successive generation. Developed by the team behind the 2020 Trials of Mana remake, this ground-up remake and standalone story will feature modern visuals, reworked strategic gameplay and various other enhancements that will delight longtime SaGa fans and newcomers alike, including the ability to switch between the classic soundtrack and a newly rearranged version, plus difficulty level options that can be adjusted at any point.

Those interested in getting their feet wet before purchasing the game can still download the Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven demo on all platforms. In it, players step into the shoes of Emperor Leon alongside his second son Prince Gerard. The pair and their retinue attempt to subdue Kzinssie, one of the Seven Heroes, setting the stage for the multi-generation story to unfold. Progress from the demo will carry over to the full game on that corresponding platform.

Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is available now for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC via Steam. A free demo is also available for download on all platforms. For more information, visit:  https://www.romancingsaga2.com/.

Developer Three Bees set to unveil new details about the upcoming sequel to its award-winning coming-of-age adventure game

PHILADELPHIA – Oct. 24, 2024 – Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the coming-of-age point n’ click narrative adventure sequel to award-winning title Perfect Tides, debuts a new trailer at the Dames4Games Showcase today. 

Developer Three Bees founder Meredith Gran, creator of the popular Octopus Pie webcomic read by hundreds of thousands, invites fans to experience the momentum and whiplash of young adulthood through the next chapter of Mara Whitefish’s life on PC and Mac via Steam in 2025.

It’s 2003 at the dawn of the 21st century, and 18-year-old Mara has left her small island hometown to pursue college as an aspiring writer in the big city. Navigate the next year of her life through four seasonal acts and more than 60 distinct environments to discover. 

Nurture (or neglect!) relationships with friends and romantic partners while balancing school work, personal writing goals, new opportunities, and the city’s bustling mass transit system. Explore branching plotlines while collecting items and information through conversation and experiences to further Mara’s understanding of topics. Take this knowledge and synthesize impressive, insightful essays — or overwrought duds — to foster her writing experience.

Every planned meeting and chance encounter will leave Mara with a new perspective, making her previous attempts at writing – and her own memories of childhood – feel more distant and sometimes even embarrassing. Help her find her place in the world by growing as a writer, becoming a better friend, or devolving into boredom and loneliness.

“Perfect Tides: Station to Station brings out the angsty young adult in us all,” explains Meredith Gran, Founder, Three Bees. “There will be times where players will feel lost, excited, self-conscious, euphoric, and so much more through Mara’s experiences.”

Perfect Tides: Station to Station will launch on PC and Mac via Steam in 2025. For more information, please visit the official website, follow the team on Twitter/X, join the community on Discord, and search #PerfectTides on all social media platforms.

About CH757 and Key

CH757 and Key form the creative duo behind Monster DNA. They had previously collaborated together on Fred’s Cereal Company and Billy’s Game Show, both known for their unique, freaky horror style. Monster DNA was born from a simple question: “Where do all those horror game monsters come from?” With a high demand for monsters, they envisioned a company responsible for creating and supplying them.
The project began as a 2D game, as creating and merging monsters seemed more possible in that format. However, it eventually evolved into the 3D version known today. The game’s visuals are inspired by Monsters, Inc., That’s Not My Neighbor, and a touch of Rick and Morty, blending dark humor with distinctive freaky monster designs.

Face nightmarish scenes from the warped minds of other kidnapped victims who have lain too long in this god’s confines. Brave forlorn cityscapes, eerie Iron Age structures, and uncanny approximations of Maya’s home. Encounter monolithic sculptures and monstrous representations of family members as Maya inches ever closer to revealing the deity’s intentions.
