Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Launches Tomorrow
Square Enix has been slowly revitalizing the SaGa series over the past few years, and the RPG franchise’s next big release, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, is set to launch tomorrow on October 24 for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Physical edition preorders are currently available for $50 on PS5 and Nintendo Switch at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. Depending on your location, Prime members on Amazon could still receive release-day delivery, or you can opt to order online and pick up your copy at your local Best Buy store.
For PC players, a Steam key is available for $42.49 at Green Man Gaming with the promo code OCT15. Additionally, purchasing a physical or digital copy for console or PC before the official launch date entitles you to several in-game bonuses.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Preorder Bonus
If you preorder a physical or digital copy before the launch date, you will receive two in-game bonuses:
- Cat’s Amulet – 10% Revenue Boost

These bonuses are only valid for the first Imperial Year (1001) in the game. They can be beneficial for newcomers or players looking to progress through the early stages of the game more quickly.
SaGa Series Remakes and Preorders
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a ground-up remake of the 1993 Super Famicom classic. While an HD port of the original was released in 2017, this new remake offers full 3D graphics and overhauls the battle system to align with the “timeline” system found in recent SaGa titles like SaGa Emerald Beyond. Various quality-of-life updates have also been included to make the game more accessible to new players, including new difficulty options.
Another upcoming release, Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered International, is available for preorders on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This remaster, originally released in 2022, will be available in physical form for these platforms early next year.
Exploring the SaGa Universe
The SaGa series, which began as a Final Fantasy spin-off known as Final Fantasy Legend, has evolved into a unique franchise known for its non-linear storylines and intricate character building systems. Romancing SaGa 2 follows various members of a royal family as they strive to preserve their empire and combat existential threats. The game also includes castle-building mechanics where players can construct and manage fortresses across their kingdom. Choices players make, interactions with characters, and completion of side quests can significantly impact the unfolding story, offering an open-ended experience even by modern gaming standards.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven provides an excellent entry point into the SaGa series, but other titles like SaGa: Emerald Beyond, Romancing SaGa: Minstrel’s Song Remastered, and Collection of SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend are also available on modern platforms. PC players can enjoy a 15% discount on the Steam versions by using the promo code OCT15 at Green Man Gaming.
