Thursday marked the launch of the highly anticipated SaGa Frontier remaster. Originally released in 1997, SaGa Frontier is a PlayStation JRPG developed by Square well before it joined with Enix. Now, Square Enix has brought SaGa Frontier back with updated HD visuals, improved battle pacing, and an entirely new story path with a new protagonist. Square Enix isn't settling for just remastering SaGa Frontier, though. The company confirmed today that it's now planning multiple additional remasters for the SaGa franchise.
As part of a live-streamed celebration for the launch of SaGa Frontier, Famitsu was able to confirm with Square Enix's Akitoshi Kawazu that more SaGa remasters were going to be made. Kawazu mentions three games specifically. SaGa Frontier 2, the direct sequel to SaGa Frontier, is one of the games. Romancing SaGa, an older JRPG made for the Super Nintendo and from which SaGa Frontier was created, is the second game named. The third is Unlimited SaGa, one of the more modern releases in the SaGa franchise, as it was originally released for the PlayStation 2.

Kawazu doesn't mention any other remasters, but apparently, he did hint at an entirely new SaGa game. No other details were offered, unfortunately. It's been around five years since the most recent SaGa games were released, those being Imperial SaGa for browsers and SaGa: Scarlet Grace on PS Vita. SaGa fans would very likely love a new SaGa game for major consoles.
For the time being, however, Kawazu was content with the new release of SaGa Frontier. He provided no timelines or further details for when future SaGa content will be delivered. Suffice to say, SaGa Frontier is available now and more SaGa will be delivered down the line.
SaGa Frontier is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and mobile devices.
