Copyright-Assaulting Fangame Card Sagas Wars Getting Released
If you were on the internet circa 2011, you might remember the fan project Card Sagas Wars. The fighting game brought together 2D pixel art representations of Young Link, KOS-MOS, Mega Man X, Cloud, Lenneth, Master Chief, and more and then went quiet. You can find one of the last trailers for the game, released nine years ago, below.
The two developers of the game, Alberto Hernández and Dani Oliver, have announced that they plan to release a seven year-old build of the game on to the internet with four characters; Young Link, X, Cloud, and KOS-MOS. Hernández and Oliver will support the game with post-launch content, namely the eight other characters they finished, but this is not intended to be a resuscitation of the project.
Both developers have moved on from the game, but want to show what they have done while they work on new projects that they can actually make a living off of. As such, Card Sagas Wars is going to be buggy, but playable at the minimum.
Coming out of nowhere...Card Sagas Wars is going to be public THIS week!! It's going to be the latest build we worked on (7 years ago) so it's asured it will be a bit unstable and with some bugs, but playable. Please keep an eye for an update at the end of the week! #ItsHappening pic.twitter.com/lkTBIDUHXW

Oliver says there should be more news on the release later in the week.
