Originally teased as Japan Dakkan, the DelightWorks developed mobile RPG has been revealed to be Sakura Kakumei: Hanasaku Otome-tachi, published by SEGA. The name originally appeared in May in regards to trademarks from Sega, finally confirmed as a mobile title for the Sakura Wars franchise, to be available Fall 2020 for iOS and Android.
The overview of the game, as translated by Gematsu, is given as follows:
Story
Taisho era year 100.
Japan, which suffered devastating damage in the “Capital Catastrophe” that occurred 16 years ago, has been reconstructed thanks to a new type of energy based on spiritual power, “Mirai.”
However, with the activation of the “New Capital Tower,” the cherry blossoms no longer bloomed and demons called Kouki started to increase in numbers, attacking people all over the country. During this time, the guardian of the people was a government organization called “Great Imperial Combat Revue B.L.A.C.K.” These girls took the country by storm with their awesome live performances while protecting the lives of citizens.
With Mirai and B.L.A.C.K., the people thought that placing their trust in the government will bring continued peace. Although a few have realized that this prosperity was a lie. They call themselves “Imperial Combat Revue.” Bring the government’s real plan to light, and take back Japan!
