Skies of Arcadia, releases way back one on Sega’s Dreamcast which originally launched for the system in 2000 and got a GameCube port in 2002.
Fans still have been desperate for a proper follow-up to the cult-classic JRPG – and it looks like they’re not alone in this regard!

Skies of Sequels
Kenji Hiruta, one of the core developers of the game, recently went public with his strong desire to create a sequel for the series.
In a heart-felt tweet, he stated that he ‘really, really’ wants to bring a new entry in the series to life:
Strongly. I really really want to develop the sequel.
Sadly, it might take more than one developer’s wishes to kickstart such a project. Back in April 2019, the game’s original producer Rieko Kodama told Kotaku he wasn’t keen on continuing the series, as the original game was complete in his eyes:
I personally feel that [the GameCube’s] Skies of Arcadia Legends completed the “director’s cut” of the title. But I am honored when fans of the game who have become game developers themselves express interest in creating a sequel. It makes me happy to think of its legacy being passed on in this way.
Would you look forward to a sequel to Skies of Arcadia?
