OXO Museo Madrid invites you to discover one of the most hidden and fascinating gems in the RPG universe. On May 16th at 7:00 PM, it will host the presentation of The Will of the Ancients – Memories of RPG: Panzer Dragoon, an essential work that rescues one of SEGA’s most special sagas from oblivion.
As unknown as it was legendary, Panzer Dragoon Saga was a unique title that broke the mold of Japanese role-playing. Thanks to the creative freedom granted by SEGA to Team Andromeda, a game was born that dared to tell a different story, creating its own coherent and vibrant universe, far removed from the genre’s standards. Its limited distribution at the time made it a coveted treasure for collectors and fans.
The Will of the Ancients doesn’t just tell the story of Saga, but contextualizes the entire Panzer Dragoon franchise, reviewing its four main installments and the complex creative and business environment in which they emerged. The book delves into the symbolism, characters, and narrative that have made this saga one of the most well-rounded and well-crafted in video game history.
📚 A unique opportunity to rediscover a cult classic.
🎤 During the event, the research and analysis process behind the book will be discussed, with time for audience questions and book signings.
If you’re in Madrid, this sounds like a great evening for Panzer Dragoon fans. La Voluntad De Los Antiguos also launches on the 16th and can be ordered from Héroes de Papel.
