Vestaria Saga Gaiden Being Remade; Renamed “Vestaria Saga II”

Last week, the English release of Vestaria Saga Gaiden: The Sacred Sword of Silvanister was officially announced for 2022.

Curiously, the Japanese Vestaria Saga Twitter account has revealed that the original The Sacred Sword of Silvanister is being remade using the latest version (of SRPG Studio) and will henceforth be known as Vestaria Saga II.

The remade version of The Sacred Sword of Silvanister is currently undergoing final testing and is expected to release near the start of 2022, in time for the New Year holidays.

Currently, it’s not known how the English release of The Sacred Sword of Silvanister will be affected. However, one of the quotes (which also explains other things), implies that the publisher is aware.

Ah, the reason it’s II is because it was better suited for international markets. It’s a proper sequel to I and has a good amount of content, so we thought it’d be easier than calling it a “gaiden”. The final chapter will be released as III.

Here’s what’s changed in the remake:

Vestaria Saga Gaiden: The Sacred Sword of Silvanister English Version Slated for 2022

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.
