New Sakura Wars Game in Development According to Leaks

After previously announcing that she would be leaving Twitter due to a controversy involving fake Sonic Heroes info shared with other leakers, famous Sega and Atlus leaker Midori made her grand return to share some more Sega news with the world.

On the morning of April 3, 2024, Midori took to Twitter to announce that a sequel to the 2021 game Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles was in development. While this game was not developed by Sega, it was published by them. Meaning Midori likely heard that the company would also be publishing the sequel as well.

The real big news of the morning came when a Twitter user asked Midori if Sega’s Division 2 (the Division in charge of the development for Sonic, Puyo Puyo, and Sakura Wars) would be releasing any games in the near future.

In a single reply, Midori stated that Sega’s Division 2 was indeed working on several projects at the moment that are in different stages of development. She specifically stated that the studio was currently working on a new game in the Sakura Wars franchise!

This tweet set a fire of hope in the Sakura Wars community, as the last game released in the franchise was 2020’s Sakura Wars, a soft reboot of the franchise that ended on a cliffhanger that many were worried would never be resolved.

While fans received a small amount of hope in January of 2024 when Insider Gaming reported on a rumor about a new game being in development, there weren’t any solid details or even a stated source. Causing much worry over the rumor being fake.

Now that a reliable leaker like Midori has also spoken about there being a new Sakura Wars game in development and even stated that Division 2 was working on it (alleviating any fears that it could be a mobile game), fans can finally rest easy as they await the inevitable return for the Flower Division
