The English release of Vestaria Saga Gaiden: The Sacred Sword of Silvanister has been formally announced. Like the original Vestaria Saga, it’ll be arriving on Steam, some time in 2022.

For those not in the know, the Vestaria Saga series was created by S_Kaga, who may or may not be the creator of the Fire Emblem series. These games are all indie in scope, having been developed with SRPG Studio, the SRPG equivalent of RPG Maker.

By the way, The Sacred Sword of Silvanister is not Vestaria Saga II, which is its own thing. Instead, it’s a side-story (hence “gaiden”) meant to provide closure for Zade, the first game’s protagonist. Even though it’s a side-story, it’s a fully-fleshed out game spanning 25 chapters.
