A timeless adventure returns, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is now on the Nintendo Switch™ 2, featuring high definition graphics, smoother frame rates, and decreased loading times.

This is a game that can be enjoyed by existing fans of the SaGa series and by complete newcomers as well.

The Seven Heroes were once hailed as saviours, but the ancients feared their power and banished them to another dimension. Thousands of years have passed, and the heroes have become legend. It was foretold that the Seven would return to save the world once more, but what fate awaits its people now that they finally have?

The player takes on the role of the emperors of Avalon and strives to expand their realm while battling against the Seven Heroes. To stand against the fearsome might of the Seven, successive emperors must wage an epic struggle over thousands of years, passing power and abilities down the Imperial line to future generations of rulers.
