So Long, My Love was the last entry until 2019 with the release of Sakura Wars, a soft reboot featuring new production staff.

Sega decided to place the franchise on hiatus in 2008.

The game was well received by critics, but sold poorly compared to previous Sakura Wars games. NIS America's localization took two years to complete, being their longest and largest project at the time. The game was announced in 2002 as part of the seven-game Sakura Wars World Project. The script was written by Satoru Akahori, the characters were designed by Hidenori Matsubara based on concept artwork by Kōsuke Fujishima, and the music was composed by Sakura Wars composer Kohei Tanaka.
