Original Article
In a SaGa Series Live Broadcast, Square Enix announced that Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend will launch for iOS/Android mobile devices and PC via Steam.
The mobile versions will launch on September 22, while the PC version will launch on October 22.
Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend is a set of the first three games in the SaGa series, which originally released for the Game Boy from 1989 to 1991. This triple pack released for Nintendo Switch last December. This port also includes a few enhancements, such as a character speed boost and a retro display mode.
When these games were first released in the West, they were given a different title from the SaGa branding and were instead called Final Fantasy Legend. Hence the collection's title references both the SaGa Japanese title and the Final Fantasy Legend English title.
As this announcement was just made in Japan, we'll have to wait for confirmation of English release details.
