At Tokyo Game Show 2019, Sega is letting fans enjoy a demo of Shin Sakura Taisen, also known as Project Sakura Wars in the west.
The demo was livestream in a joint broadcast by the Japanese magazines Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation and below you can see a recording, courtesy of YouTube user bambooshoots game.
The demo showcases two parts, the first lets you enjoy the adventure mode near the beginning of the game, when the hero just joined the new Floral Revue as the new captain.
The second part showcases the battle system with Seijuro himself and Azami Mochizuki as playable characters.
If you’d like to learn more about Project Sakura Wars, you can enjoy the latest trailers, the earlier gallery of screenshots, another gallery, the latest gameplay reveal, the previous one, and an earlier gallery of screenshots and art.
You can also check out some awesome artwork by main character designer Tite Kubo and the second batch of character sketches.
Incidentally, we recently heard that one of the sources of inspiration for the battle system is the opening animation of Sakura Wars 3, which you can watch here.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Sakura Wars series, you should take a look at my dedicated article explaining what it’s all about.
The game will launch in Japan exclusively for PS4 on December 12, and in the west in 2020.
