Sega should revive Panzer Dragoon Saga on PC next

Sega has had a strong 2017. Sonic Mania is excellent, and the publisher had success relaunching games like Vanquish, Bayonetta, and Yakuza. But it needs to do the work to start reclaiming its past, and it should start with what is arguably the best game the company ever made: Panzer Dragoon Saga.

In 1998, Sega launched the third game in the Panzer Dragoon Saga for its 32-bit Saturn console. Unlike the first two on-rails shooters, Saga was a role-playing adventure with a combination of real-time and turn-based gameplay. Critics praised the game, and it ended up as the best-rated release on Saturn, according to the GameRankings review-aggregation site. But despite that acclaim, Panzer Dragoon Saga never came up as often as the Dreamcast’s Shenmue as the classic series Sega had to bring back. But that doesn’t mean no one is trying to make it happen.
