Saga Frontier 2 introduces a complete renovation of the RPG genre.

Blending both freedom and linearity, this title utilizes the Multi-Scenario System giving players unparalleled freedom in choosing which scenario they want to play while other scenarios crisscross with one another.

Saga Frontier 2 also introduced three innovative battle modes called Duel, Team, and Strategic. The battles will depend on the modes selected, and players can control a single character, a team, or several units all at once.

Saga Frontier 2 was first launched on PlayStation consoles in 1999 in Japan, with an English version released in the west in January 2000. The game was notable at the time for its incredibly unique hand-painted watercolor backdrops that give Saga Frontier 2 a notable storybook feel akin to reading something like Winnie the Pooh. Following on from the first SaGa title, Saga Frontier 2 features non-linear gameplay that allows players to follow multiple branching paths to complete the title.

Drawing heavily on Germanic and Anglo-Saxon roots, Saga Frontier 2 is set in the fictional world of Sandail. The game features two sprawling narratives from the viewpoints of two characters: Gustave XIII, an exiled heir seeking to reclaim what’s his, and William Knights, a man out to investigate his parents’ deaths.

Saga Frontier Remastered, the first game in the series, is now available to play on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android. These will likely be the same platforms for Saga Frontier 2, so stay tuned for further announcements.
